Yes I personally am grateful you posted that @blaggacao . I am still deliberating with myself how to proceed in all of this. There seems to be some bad karma here when it comes to these issues: Code of Conduct, moderation team, political attitudes. Maybe not surprising with politics involved, but still…
I read the little bit of stuff that I could get from Srid thanks to your post.
I intellectually fail to grasp what exactly he was suspended for. Was it a picture of a steak he cooked due to his diet? Or a link to a bit of political content outside this forum? Or was it sharing controversial viewpoints on debates brought up by others (!!!) on this platform? I don’t really get it …
Yet after saying this, and having engaged in these controversial issues myself for a short time on this forum, I can also see why so many people appear to be in love with Codes of Conduct and proactive moderation. All these debates tear people down on an emotional level (including me sometimes btw), they take up a lot of energy that could otherwise be spend on making things (much more gratifying I think), and they have a tendency of leaving all sides frustrated.
I am a bit at a loss on what to make of all of this to be honest.
