I am unfamiliar with the issues that led to this event.

Could someone point me to examples of controversial moderation decisions that were “interfered” with?





The moderation log both explains it very well, and not at all, depending on perspective. When you follow the Discourse and other community forums for a while, you notice that moderation is unevenly applied. Some get permanent bans, other bans counted in hours, if at all. When you are familiar with the names in the moderation log, and the lack of consistency in ruling, you see a very clear moderation bias.

Jon Ringer (who got permabanned) has a YouTube video talking about several events around NixOS moderation:

My own permanban is detailed in this post:

> The fact your blog reveals they banned you for being "anti-woke" is probably the most telling part of this entire discussion

This is an impressive statement. Two people could agree with it for diametrically opposed reasons.


Please remove the steak.
