    I’m excited to see how “POV pushers” vs mod censorship works out. One of the big problems I saw on reddit, ( especially /r/Oakland) was outsiders pushing a negative POV and mods reacting by censoring all posts with the same POV.

    I don’t want the place overrun by Texas MAGAs, but when local crime posts are censored because it pushes a POV the mod doesn’t like, it destroys trust in the entire sub.

      Absolutely. I don’t think any city or area is “perfect” by any means…But censoring posts isn’t the way to build trust in a sub.
