The whole reason that we’re having such a disagreement on moderation is that moderation has been weaponized for political purposes.
This has happened over and over - Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, Wikipedia, even here (try posting a skeptical take on climate news).
I don’t know what the rules should be. But I don’t think that we can have well informed people if a small subset are allowed to filter what ideas people are even allowed to consider.

Often these escalate to actual violence. It’s also a common (real) thread behind domestic violence, IMO. Incompatible world views coupled with inability to actually integrate them successfully in a workable way.
