This is pretty much it, discussions have become so tribal and moderators have always leaned harder into the progressive side. If you arent on the team, you are against progressive ideals, its ultimately hard to discuss when its so black and white minded and there is a lack of transparency in what is considered actionable. So at the end why bother getting into discussions in grey areas when you probably wont get through to anyone, people start to dog pile, and then you get banned on top of that. Any kind of discussion that isnt complete agreement is always in danger to "trivialize" the issue. Ive seen a lot of ridiculous bans (not these threads specifically) like this and it ultimately drives away even progressive minded people to not talking because they dont agree with a degree or a point. So people dont post and it creates an echo chamber so we get a perception of how things are. I really dont think era is the place to have meaningful discussions on social issues. I think everyone has their hearts in the right place though.
