I wouldn't say they gatekeep at all actually. Theyll published stuff from people pretty far on the left. They just care about good scifi. They dont care about who you are. They wont publish a black lesbian scifi author because of her identity unless she writes well. A bunch of the Sad Puppies were Baen-published authors.
I came across Baen a few years ago. Do they do a better job of gatekeeping? Their stuff doesn’t seem to be woke nonsense

Gotcha. Also I notice they stick to sci-fi. I love their site and try to support them
