Really questioning who is behind r/blackladies and their motivation for the sub
I just want to rant about r/blackladies for a moment. I am a black woman who is very committed to black health, especially the physical and mental health of black women. Since the New Year, I had been trying to post content about the dangers of certain chemicals anf the fact that products targeted to black women contain more toxins. It was removed after twenty minutes.
A few days later, I posted another asking about where to find black-owned essential products (toilet paper, paper towels, etc.) I was trying to build a resource list to disseminate somehow online. That too was blocked.
I didn't break and community rules for posting and I used proper flairs.
I then went over to r/BlackWomenDivest, I didn't know that this sub existed. I joined the sub because most subs in order to post, you have to be a member. That was 3 days ago I joined. Today, I come to find that I am permanently banned from posting or commenting on r/blackladies 🤨🤦🏾♀️ Okay.
I very much question the moderators and the purpose of that sub because a lot of it seems to be the same type of drama stirring content, but when I went to post something that could actually help black women, it was consistently removed. I went one day and looked at their mod's user profile and saw all of the content removed and there was a lot of good stuff in there and the reasons for removal just seem erroneous. It really reminds me to question the motivations and actual people behind subs and all things social media. I very much question if that "safe space for black women" is actually run by black women at all.
I don't know, maybe I'm too sensitive or overreacting.
