@dickturpin @lnxw48a1 Your argument, to me, seems to be that we should not build any moderation structures because they inevitably lead to petty politics and tyrrany. Is that acccurate?

I claim that this is not true, based on being part of many different communities over the internet, and the problem for longevity and productive conversations have much more often been too lax and inconsistent moderation rather than excessive banning and moderation, and in particular, that the longest-living and best internet community I've ever been part of has a particularly strict moderation in relation to others.
