Well idk what to tell you.
Being shitty is subjective and if a mod doesn’t like someone using a space for what it’s for then it breeds this environment.
Dismissing and invalidating people with genuine concerns is also not how we get more people to contribute.

Yeah there are also spaces with specific rules, like womenstuff that only lets women comment. Also some places have wildly different moderation philosophy. On one hand, it’s fine to make a mistake and learn from it. It’s another to accidentally catch a blanket instance ban with no recourse.
