@dickturpin Could you explain how an entirely voluntary, community-organised safelist constitutes CONTROL as opposed to FREEDOM?

I want moderation, as shouting matches and harassment seldom lead anywhere, and that moderation can be implemented at various levels.

The most obvious one being the individual (e.g. me) keeping their patience and trying to find common ground, and to explain their own position, and their understanding of that the other person, and obviously not harassing people, laying off and untagging people when asked, and in general not writing off the rights of entire groups of people for sexist, racist or other bigoted reasons.

If an individual is not capable of restraining themselves, then the other party could mute or block, temporarily or permanently, for example, letting tempers cool off, or blocking simplistic harassment.

However, when the abusive user or group is not content with being blocked or muted, but takes the abuse through other means, >
