Interesting ideas. I personally am for being attacked as an admin. Though it has never happened to me personally. It’s hard when our emotions get involved in administration and things feel personal (though fairly they are because they are intentionally making them personal). I suppose I’ve always believed in de-personalizing admin work. One of the reasons why I ended up using alt-tech almost exclusively came long ago when I was shadow banned on Reddit for talking about Ellen Pao’s lawsuit on /r/technology. The personal and legal details of many other tech CEOs were discussed openly in the forum all the time and a good chunk of articles were exactly that. So it seemed wrong that discussing that in regards to a major company would be disallowed. It created a hole in discussion and a gap in people’s understanding. It also meant that the CEO of reddit was using their trusted capacity to moderate (which at that time was utilized almost never), not for any benefit to the community but for their own personal interests.

Maybe part of my views also come from applying stoic patterns. Be above their attacks. They are nothing. If the guy wants to be a cancerous piece of shit he can throw his ineffectual tantrums and be ignored for the insignificant POS that he is.
