As a mostly lurker, I think the most destructive moderation tendency which led to most of the d&d problems has been "shitposts I agree with are fun, arguments I disagree with are illegal." The toxicity, insularity, and posts trying to goad their ideological enemies into saying some variety of illegal opinion all get exacerbated by that.

Post koos regime, that's way, way down (though not gone), so that's very good. But, it seems to me that the non koos mods are going along with this not because they agree they shouldn't be banning wrong thought on sight, but just because they are afraid of koos or the admins. Still, it's a very positive trend overall imo.

The cycle of China thread discussions often is:

1) China is uniquely bad for doing this thing
2) that thing is not unique and in an international context not even unusual
3) mods, please ban all this whataboutism
