There’s a segment of the community that makes their delicate sensibilities everyone else’s problem. Unfortunately that segment contains the mods.

“delicate sensibilities” is just a poorly disguised way of saying you don’t care about other people’s feelings, though

  I mean that the debate right? To what extent do we allow people’s feelings to dictate public behavior?
  
  I agree everyone should be respected, I support and am a part of the LGBT community, but some things just aren’t worth getting that offended over.

That’s the nice thing about federation, you don’t have to interact. If you don’t like how a community is run, don’t participate in it, or even defederate.

  100% correct! I don’t enjoy the culture and moderation style there so I don’t usually participate. I’ll comment on something if it makes it into my all feed or something, I don’t actively avoid them either.

It’s our instance and our communities. The mods represent us, or there would be feedback from our instance’s users saying they disagree with moderation.

  The mods represent the users that haven’t been banned*
  
  Important distinction

    I mean, if you look at the modlogs, most bans have a reason And the reasons are things like xenophobia, transphobia but in more words, general troll vibes, etc. Not just because someone doesn’t like the mods
