Agreed. There's some Dang good work being done here. Hope he gets rewarded well for it.

The mods certainly do a great job of keeping things running smoothly here, but I wouldn't say it's _primarily_ because of them.

I think it's primarily due to the self-moderation of the community itself, who flag and downvote posts, follow the community guidelines, and are still overall relatively civil compared to other places.

That said, any community can be overrun by an Eternal September event, at which point no moderation or community guidelines can save it. Some veteran members would argue that it's already happened here. I would say we've just been lucky so far that it hasn't. The brutalist UI likely plays a part in that. :)

daddy dang to the rescue

Wait you mean absolute freedom of speech, countering bad speech with more good speech doesn't work?
