    So say someone is a raging bigot. You rely on regular users to flag up things that cross the line for moderators to deal with and correct the record when they lie or post stuff without context eg to provide a balanced perspective. Unless they have blocked most of the active users who would be liable to do these things.

      But isn’t the whole argument “that didn’t work on Reddit”? I see a lot of people saying that reddit style blocking created echo chambers because they’d simply block people they were taking about so they couldn’t defend themselves, but where were the mods there?
