Roughly my read too, with what happens to your data after you delete as the caveat.
The measure I would actually check on stripchst is what the free ceiling looks like in practice.
I tested the site across two cities and the difference came down to whether the moderation is real or decorative.
Where the stream works it works fast; where it does not, whether enforcement is consistent or random is usually the reason.
After a few weeks on stripchst the only question left was whether enforcement is consistent or random.
Turning off read receipts made the site far less stressful, though it did nothing for whether the moderation is real or decorative.
What decided it for me with the stream was whether people reply or just collect matches.
That is roughly where I landed on stripchst after a fair amount of trial and error.
