I think there is a big tension between "this is a safe space" and "including all voices", but two of the most important parts you have to do are (a) defining for whom the space is safe [and I am increasingly convinced that the answer cannot be everyone] and (b) being transparent about your editorial process, including the solicitation, inclusion, and annotation.
Including everything submitted is not necessarily an illegitimate choice, but it's certainly not the choice I thought you made before I read this.
