      As a mod of a huge community, I cannot tell you how often someone said “Jews did x,” then called it censorship when we deleted it. If you criticize Israel, you’re fine. If you says “Jews,” but mean “Israel,” you’re probably not.

      Meanwhile, we have lively discussions behind the scenes to prevent censorship. Users don’t really care though, they just want to complain and assume every mod action is an attack on users.

        Users do care, but it’s obviously judged from actions alone - we don’t know what discussions happen behind the scenes. When I noticed mods behaving as if it was /r/worldnews, that’s when I switched.
