I’m not intentionally trying to argue just to argue, but what instance isn’t going to have moderation issues? I haven’t seen enough performance issues here to have noticed any trends. Mods themselves are very frequently asshats anywhere you go. It’s the nature of a job that offers power but no other compensation.

Is there something specific that has prompted this move? Some event I missed?

I like the clear Terms of Service here and the accessible admin team. I’ve been part of other servers that were clearly taking a much less professional approach.

My only mark against LW is that they didn’t want to block corporate instances, not that those have been a problem at all.
