I agree with you in part, but I find just wanted to put the footnote that good moderation isn’t censorship (unless it’s literally being used to suppress alternative viewpoints). Good moderation is just reminding everyone of your grandmother’s rule that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it all. And there is nothing wrong in joining an instance like that and doesn’t make your instance an echo chamber.
Good moderation isn’t censorship, but let’s be real - good moderation by random volunteer internet users is rarely ever good moderation. Most of the time it’s just suppressing alternative viewpoints.
