@geekynerdynerd I just don’t understand (why) it’s necessary to debate topics like this? It doesn’t sound like this is meant to be the be-all and end-all of social media, but a tolerant space that has heavy moderation. A few topics might be off limits here - so what?

Just live and let live (ie. mind your own business).

@dylanshivak Honestly, if this was being made by anybody other than Mozilla i'd simply ignore it . But Mozilla has influence. Outside of platforms that are committing seppeku like Twitter, heavy moderation has been spreading like wildfire... The internet as a whole is becoming more split between places trying to replicate Disney land and shit holes like 4chan.

I don't like either option, and I'm concerned about this dichotomy potentially spreading if more groups are inspired by Mozilla.

@geekynerdynerd I guess we just agree to disagree. I think a heavily moderated space sounds nice and somewhere that I would like to be. It’s certainly the reason I left Twitter.

Not everywhere can be everything for everyone, and that’s okay.

@dylanshivak I'll admit I'm just a bit sensitive about the topic currently. I left Twitter because of numerous reasons, but I will agree that after Musk took over they went too far in taking a more anything goes approach to moderation.

There's certainly nothing wrong with there being places that are heavily moderated and I am glad that people like you who prefer those have options. I just prefer a middle ground to moderation, and it feels like places like that are dying out slowly everywhere.
