    It’s maybe hard to realize but these moderators wants an environment where their users never see an uncomfortable opinion that upsets their users.

    As an adult, I don’t have a problem with different opinions, but my teenage son has massive issues with it. He wants to go to war with people over opinions, and if they don’t agree with him, they are stupid. So I think it’s a maturity thing.

    Sooner or later, you realize that people have different opinions, and censoring them doesn’t make them go away. The ability to discuss different opinions is what makes someone mature.

    Anyway, I can absolutely understand why they don’t want to moderate difficult discussions. That’s a lot of work.
