Does Codidact want to silence its users as SE does?

−10

After joining Codidact and then reading many posts, I concluded that Codidact is a place allowing people to express their opposing ideas freely, unlike SE.

But, something happened that I had to doubt my conclusion: this post was closed as not constructive (?!).

As we know, SE users cannot express their opinions freely because of the following, which are not acted by the community team themselves but are implicitly confirmed by them:

(Consider a user posting their opposing opinion, which is too harsh to most active meta users including some moderators, on a meta site)

  • In the first step, the active meta users attack the post by their heavy downvotes, and then close and delete it because of some wrong reasons such as being "off-topic" or "opinion-based".

  • If the user wants to continue posting their opposing opinions on the meta, the active meta users downvote, close, and delete them or even some of their posts on the main site in order to cause the user post-banned.

  • Finally, if the user wants to continue expressing their opinions through other ways like chatting, the moderators suspend the user for a while (it can be one year) to cool down the user.

Now, my question is whether Codidact wants to continue their older brother's (or sister's) way, SE, or not.

As the one who closed it, I feel like I should offer my reason. The way I read it, it was basically a rant: "an unfortunate thing for this community is that when you report some bug on Meta, you are not usually received any response". Both of the examples you listed 1. are your own, which to me was a flag that you just wanted to call attention to those posts, and 2. have comments which you never responded to

I didn't close it because I thought it was opinion based - You're free to suggest whatever you want (and posts tagged with [discussion] are naturally opinion based anyway.) I closed it because, as the close reason says, "It's not possible to learn something from possible answers, except for the solution for the specific problem of the asker." The entire post read, paraphrased,

There are bugs for me, and it lacks the functionality I want, so please work on that instead of other things (launching new communities)
