Since I'm assuming you're at least half replying to me: I'm not objecting to any single part of that. I'm speaking of interactions I've had with the lead dev on this forum (linked in my comment) where they explicitly said that they don't stop at that and don't see any problem with enforcing "good vibes" on their community (their words), in a discussion that started with someone complaining that said lead dev had removed a negative emoji reaction that they had received on one of their own comments. Take the politics any way you like, I don't think you can build a healthy technical community that will solve problems in a healthy way under an admin who is casual in removing expressions of dissent about their moderation practices, justified under a policy as vague as "good vibes". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41413735 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41413735
