As I've said for a long time, I don't mind moderation, I just want to be in charge of what I see. Give me the tools that the moderators have, let me be able to filter out bots at some confidence level; let me see "removed" posts, banned accounts; don't mess with my searches unless I've asked for that explicitly.

Power to the people.

I disagree. Comments with a certain tone set the mood for the entire forum generally leading to a poor overall use experience.

> the entire forum

That is the wrong view on a global communication platform. It's like saying "a certain tone sets the mood for the entire telephone system".

These things should be seen more as silos, subcultures or whatever.

Unless you expose yourself to the firehose of globally popular content.

Telephones are 1:1, forums are 1:many.
