>Strict moderation

I don't consider the moderation on this site to be strict at all?

It's tone police more than it is content police. HN continually lets comments and statements go completely unquestioned, and in some cases actively supports view points, that are objectively wrong in the most vanilla fashion all because it was said in the correct manner.

Are you suggesting that the moderators should make decisions about what is objectively wrong or right? Because that would be a lot of work for them and they would probably get it wrong.

When it comes to the content, we (the commenters) are the ones responsible for holding each other accountable.
