I don’t know how many times I have to beat this drum but good communities that people want to spend time in are heavily moderated.
Free speech bros (who don’t actually really believe in it) have yet to create an attractive platform that doesn’t have moderation.
Moderation is key and what some people consider “heavy handed moderation” makes for a nice place to hang out. Without it HN would languish as people with interesting things to add are driven off by the people who think they have a right to say whatever they want anywhere they want to say it.
