Says who?! It can mean whatever you define it to mean. You're just making stuff up, you're no authority.
This is not the way you presented feddit.uk before. You seemed to be explicitly excluding conservativism.
Of course but I would point out that social conservativism is the dominant political philosophy in the UK so it would be odd and in fact misleading not to be up front about excluding conservativism in an instance that advertises itself as a general UK instance. Hence my concern.
Most definitely. How else could such views be shown up for what they are using sound reason and subtle but devastating wit, as is the British way? (As opposed to sticking one's fingers in one's ears and shouting "LA LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU UR DUMB I'MA BAN U".)
I'm not sure what you're trying to say with this but I would note that with one exception, all the racist people I've had the misfortune of encountering have been in pubs. And moreover, I wouldn't want to spend time in any pub where any kinds of 'certain' discussions were outright prohibited.

Debating isn't the same thing as accepting.
It seems you've changed your tune:
1. In response to the question "The instance is never an appropriate context and any such discussion whatsoever is prohibited?": "Yes, ..."
2. "It’s about protecting a vulnerable minority. ... I don’t want this place to be a contributor to these statistics and I’m going to prioritise the safety of our trans users over some notion of neutrality."
And also, to be clear:
3. In response to the question "if someone created a linguistic philosophy community on feddit.uk and in that community members held a discussion on ‘a trans person’s “I’m a man” as less than a cis person’s “I’m a man”’, is that prohibited or not?" which is about discussion of whether a trans person's “I’m a man” is less than a cis person’s “I’m a man” and doesn't necessarily imply saying anything one way or the other: "no [yes] as that’s pretty clearly ..."
There's plenty. Wouldn't it be great if we created a place where such wonderings could be explored honestly without concern over being banned? What a pity that instead there's a place of dullness, with rules motivated by fear.
It's almost like I was saying what I mean by conservative forum.
It certainly looks like that when you cut my response off.
I'm done with this discussion, you're not engaging in good faith and what you want from this place stands at odds with what the majority of feddit.uk's users want this place to be. There has always been action on bigotry, you failing to notice doesn't mean this place was ever some free speech absolutist debate club.
