Honestly, if the source of my downvotes was that, I wouldn't even care. There are times I've said things that even I would downvote if I had a cool head.
My issue is that it's just a competing ideology trying to silence those who criticize it. I've won most of my arguments with the far-right fantasists and that's why they downvote me and report me.
They can only win arguments in a place where their group has a foothold. I've been here before, with the TERFs on Reddit and the exact same tactics.
Even those who would cheer my permanent ban now will regret it when this place goes the way of r/TumblrInAction.

I'd suggest that you stop letting it get under your skin. Because if you complain about it, then they will see that as a vindication, and they'll continue doing it. As for the rest, perhaps you can work out an arrangement with the moderation: or perhaps some guidance about what you can or cannot say.
Also, never do ban evasion.

The doctrine for the subreddit was to let everyone speak, but not to let anti-GG voices become dominant - though it never had to be implemented. Suppose a group, any group, attempted to hijack it, then a crackdown would follow.
I almost never downvote anything here including you, and I'm a woman.
There are a few grumps around who take things too seriously.
I only downvote when people complain about downvotes.
I'll admit I've gone a little far some times.
