I think all moderators should be reminded of their role. Perhaps someone can raise this at the next council meeting.
AMEN brother, heavy modding (caring about people who get offended by stuff, I get offended by that, please revert) is slowly killing internet (like google did pushing for 'ads are acceptable on the internet' ********, now web without adblock sucks), noone stood to them and now adblock is required. Hope we learned that lesson, but again, in every community where you don't have protection of speech written into the rules, you end up with modding and censorship to bigger or smaller extent. Is free speech FOSS halal? Probably more than moderating because we don't liek some views (he claimed putin isn't devil, got triggered)
