You're point is valid about the two-way street that is ideological moderation, whether it's done by modders or platform moderators. While some argue that removing certain features serves to make a political statement, the same could be said for removing mods themselves. Both actions can be seen as influenced by the ideological beliefs of those making the decisions. In this case, the main question is: who gets to decide what crosses the line and what doesn't? And should these decisions be open to discussion within the community?
