The second one I think it’s more a matter of striking the right balance. I certainly think some of them the mods perhaps have grown weary and trigger happy but you also don’t want the other end where the mods let the users run the sub until it turns into a hole of liberalism and then you’re faced with having to try and purge most of your userbase. It’s a delicate act of being open but not letting certain liberal sentiments or ideas take root and for that you also need users who downvote/upvote/engage with people to keep the liberal sentiments out and the unrepentant and unreformable liberals outside the sub.
I agree with your first paragraph strongly.
