Agreed. Mods don’t need to really monitor content so long as the votes are legal. If someone is manipulating votes then it’s fair to moderate, but we get to upvote posts we like. If this community decides it likes a particular post, be it flat earth posts or posts with scary words in it, then who are the moderators really to say that post isn’t allowed. Although it is nice to keep the feed relatively clean.
Personally, I don’t post things about flat earth or the N word, so it doesn’t effect me. But I don’t like censorship. We’re in this whole mess mostly because of secrecy and censorship.

I meant you don't let the mob run the most important patriot forum on the internet.
Choosing the format and rules of the forum and gently enforcing them is one of the most important things the Mods do for us. If done well, the forum survives and grows.

Don't let the mob run the store.
