Moderation philosophy posts started out as an exercise by myself to put down some of my thoughts on running communities that I'd learned over the years. As they continued I started to more heavily involve the other admins in the writing and brainstorming. This most recent post involved a lot of moderator voices as well, which is super exciting! This is a community, and we want the voices at all levels to represent the community and how it's run.

This is probably the first of several posts on moderation philosophy, how we make decisions, and an exercise to bring additional transparency to how we operate.

Thank you for making me read this in the morning. You could have asked me a question without that imagery.

We do not allow bigoted content on our platform. This is explicitly called out in many parts of our philosophy documentation.

I apologize. It wasn't my intention to hurt people in any way. An attempt at communicating how different realities might be based on where you're from. I've tried to add spoiler tags to it, though I don't know how successful it was.

In a way I'm sorry I asked this question as well.

Thank you for apologizing, I promise I'll be fine 💜
