I definitely see your point, but at the same time, isn’t public debate in text the best tool we have here for an open discussion?
Regardless, I can understand, and respect, that you don’t want to spend time on public discussions about moderation. As “some mod somewhere” once said: If you don’t like how it’s being done, become a mod yourself. I can respect that.
What you are advocating for is laudable, but it is not reality because it assumes good faith actors. Open dialogue and free speech is often just a cudgel for those who are trying to cause problems.

I want to believe this is true but such “best tool” requires substantial amount of resources to enact and maintain. And even then we might simply receive bad rep for overinvolvement
From a user standpoint, I think anyone interested in higher quality moderation should either try !humor@beehaw.org or indeed involve oneself in moderation of this community
