this is not a dissertation there is no ned to dissect phrases. context is key. Read it in context. This is a discussion about Project Makom. A group that helps chasidim who feel that their upbringing is too restrictive leave their group. That is what they do, and this is what is being discussed.
There is another group called Footsteps which has a somewhat similar goal but makes pushes them to abandon Yidishkeit in the process, “it makes them frei”.
Project MAkom, on the other hand “helps them become modox. which is not as bad as frei.”
You say “means that it is bad to be Modern Orthodox, but it is not as bad as being Frei.” Yes as IVe said, Sadigurerebbe does maintain that for someone born chassdiish it “is bad to be Modern Orthodox, but it is not as bad as being Frei.” He is abandoning his roots this isnt a good thing.
“If someone wanted to say that becoming Modern Orthodox is not as bad as becoming Frei, the correct way to phrase that would be”
Nu nu so it was worded poorly, thats why Im glad to explain it to you. Is this really the first poorly worded post yovuve come across? This is one of your stranger assertions.
“And either way, nothing was said about Chassidim. ” Um wrong, that is whom Project makom deals with, and thus whom this entire thread (see the title) is discussing.
If you never heard of Project Makom, no problem. Just ask what it is , or dont comment at all . There is no law requiring you to argue with any post particularly if you dont know what is being discussed.
