@inthehands @mekkaokereke I couldn't agree more. Moderation is hard, often thankless, but necessary for a healthy space. I've been on forums dating back to the dialup BBS days in the early 1980's. I've seen the same patterns repeat over & over again. One consistent pattern is positive, solid moderation keeps places alive. The lack of it kills them in a social sense, like Lord of the Flies Online. Being inclusive involves affirmative, proactive work. I'm hopeful; I like the potential I see here.
