I feel this topic is slowly going in circles. All I’m picking up are vague feelings of persecution by people who seem to feel personally attacked by moderating decisions that don’t concern themselves.
I’ve personally been happy with the moderation, though I’ve also been more of a lurker. Good moderation is hard. I thank the people doing this job, not just juggling a lot of difficult communication but constantly having to defend what they do. I get notified for everything in the moderation github repo and its always the same people concern trolling the decisions made.
If you really think you have found some better way to do moderation write it down in an RFC. Saying they should reform from “within” feels like a lazy way to get the responsibility of coming up with the better solution out of your own hands; you can keep vaguely gesturing at “accountability” undermining the moderation in the process without having to do the hard work of figuring out how better moderation would work in practice.
I defer to @expipiplus1 excellent post earlier in this thread that was unfortunately hidden that links some really good articles around moderation and community safety.
