there isn't a friendly place run by crooked orgs just like there aren't friendly people who just bully "that one guy no one likes anyways". you'd be living a lie. making the place attractive to more people just gives the bullies more prey to prowl upon.https://twitter.com/propensive/status/1085780937105846273 …

That only works when they don't have absolute irrevocable power over you and over silencing you because you are in a shared social context. In this case they can just remove you from the social context, ridding of the nuisance.

also, requiring these kinds of extensive personal conversations as a part of moderation makes moderation literally 10x more time-consuming than it would be otherwise. it's only practical to a point, past that point others need to step in

that's why they should be public, even if post-facto
