    I’ve modded various places over the years, my outlook has always been that keeping the conversation going is important.

    Content of the conversation really doesn’t matter so much, as long as it’s not just wildly inappropriate. Users need to have thick skin to participate, there is no ‘agenda’ to something like a ‘general’ forum of discussion and there are no right or wrong opinions.

    You can argue opinion as a user, but not action opinion as a moderator, or you’re becoming a curator. A lot of moderation on reddit is curative, imo

    Creates toxic echo chambers

    Sorry I’m rambling
