I wish we had spaces to collaborate on technical work where being a jerk was just not allowed. Like, actual proper fearless moderation.

Your reply starts with "No." on its own line? Two weeks ban. Learn to behave.

You go on a tear about another participant? One year ban. No warning.

I'm a privileged white dude with 20k followers and even I hesitate to contribute to some spaces because of the mailing list hand-to-hand combat.

Imagine how many contributions by talented folks we are wasting!
