I'm surprised they responded. Every time I get on X, I get nothing but Atheist smooth brain takes. Really, they just have an unhealthy hatred for all things Christianity and use atheism as a valid experience while they pretend to know everything about religion and pretend they had a religious upbringing. It's toxic people being toxic, but why the fuck is it in my TL is my question?

Not telling you is part of the point. If you're worried about them striking you, you'll self-censor more thoroughly than they feel they can, and keeping the offenses and limits 'fuzzy' serve to keep you (and anyone you talk to) on your toes. It's also harder to complain about their policies when you can't be certain what they actually are; was it the seemingly milquetoast take on _current thing,_ or is it something that is suddenly problematic in current day that you posted a few years ago? X may tell you (for now,) but that doesn't mean Blogger, KZbin, or Facebook do.
