To be fair, the general civility of the members of Bogleheads is the polar opposite of that at FB/Twitter/Reddit.

Maybe moderation is part of that, but I’d argue the subject matter is already generally less polarizing/toxic than what’s on the other three platforms.

But your point is still valid re: how Bogleheads does moderation.

You're right, the people who are generally attracted to Bogleheads in the first place, and furthermore the people who are able to participate there without getting removed, are probably quite civil under their FB/Twitter/Reddit handles too. Or they're people who won't go anywhere near FB/Twitter/Reddit.

What's obviously very hard is allowing discussion of politics, macroeconomics, religion, race, etc. without it getting heated. Bogleheads doesn't even try.
