No, mostly because I’m choosing to be here in the first place. A fundamental part of oppression is that it isn’t something you opt in to, it’s forced on you. If a government mandated that you wear a microphone at all times and punished you for what you said, that would be oppressive. Deciding to join an online community and having to abide by their rules by its very nature can’t be oppressive. It doesn’t matter if they’re banning hate speech, discrimination, or even using the word “moist”.
