ok cohost is on ironmode for the rageposters now, let's see if i pass their inscrutable litmus test
To be clear, I do generally approve of moderation feedback. I approve of examining reports on the case-by-case basis, as it's far more equitable to the diverse range of users if there is genuinely a consideration for circumstance. I'm not sure this can be done efficiently by the current staff, but if Cohost is moving in this direction then they are at least posturing like they think they can.
I am not sure how to feel about even mentioning the discretionary bans. It is a very heavy double-edged sword and can split a community in half if it is not used delicately and sparingly. Cohost seems to want to be a community, but it has a habit of beating up its community in accidental ways, like banning certain paraphilic media without any basis besides gut check, and not acknowledging certain outstanding ban appeals. We'll see how this goes. Presently, I am ambivalent.
