I find most forums that advocate against behavior they view as malicious wind up becoming hugboxes as people skirt this arbitrary boundary. I will never, never come back to platforms or groups after I get this feeling.

Hugbox environments wind up having a loose relationship with the truth and a strong emphasis on emotional well-being.

Setting your moderation boundaries determines the values of your platform. I’d much rather talk to someone who wants to hurt my feelings than someone who is detached from reality or saying what they think.
