@ricky @Erpel not moderating harassment is a genuinely bad take.
what you can skip out on moderating is opinions and stuff that isn't happening on your very own website.
you yourself egged on with the community quite early and immature as the others are they did that bad stuff, not to be excused. But people left because of the impression you made on them, some because of either things or because of said moderation ruling, they didn't go elsewhere and took their harassment with them.
