Why I'm leaving discuss.python.org

Sure.

And many people don’t want to be part of an environment where there they sense no empathy for why they reacted the way they did to moderation decisions, and where actions are labelled “minor” that they see as quite significant, and where they are scolded for “taking something personally” when they feel that there is bias against them personally (or against groups they belong to) and are trying to make that case.

And at least some people approach a discussion with many, many years of experience discovering that supposed concern for “groups of people” doesn’t extend to the groups they belong to, but only ones on the approved list for orthodox thinkers to show compassion towards.

But also, I can’t really tell what posts, or parts thereof, motivate you to say so, which IMHO is a bad look in the context of a discussion about transparency and openness.
