Everything I removed, I removed because it was either off-topic or because it broke the one single rule posted in the sidebar.
I posted this thread asking for feedback about that rule. If you believe it should be changed, feel free to make your case. https://lemm.ee/post/1443519
I hate heavy-handed moderation as well, but all I'm trying to do is preserve the community's central purpose. I'm open to any suggestions for other ways to proceed.
