    Communities growth is hindered by aggressive moderators. Communities are also hindered by the lack of moderation. For the larger communities you’ll see moderators that avoid bans, keep threads and comments within the TOS and Community rules, but largely have a laissez-faire attitude toward moderating. This leads to stronger growth and better communities.

    I’d say LW largely falls under the effective altruistic philosophy.
