the decision to limit visibility is open to everyone

Which in some cases is an absolute disaster. A lot of people need protection from evil oligarchy by a benevolent dictator-moderator.

Are you still using SN the same way now that we have extended oligarchy versus before? I'm not. I never visit lit and top anymore. Just subscriptions + new + clientside filters (+ legacy mutes that I need to get rid of). I'm literally working around "money is the moderator", because I feel money is a poor moderator.

the trend I see is that people assume I'm attacking them or their way of (internet) life.

Hmm.. honestly, I think I feel the same.

Attacking people is not something is like to think I was doing.

However, I am curious what other forum users think of the "money is a moderator" idea. I'll have to figure out how to gentle up my approach I'd it is coming off as aggressive.

Ah I didn't mean you're attacking me as in personally, but you are definitely attacking habits on the internet formed over more than 3 decades - I still don't see why that should get you banned though.

I think there's an important difference between what I said and you said:

  • money is the moderator
  • money is a moderator

Sounds pedantic but I don't think it is when you think about it. Still, I'd rather not have moderators at all - and the discovery feature at the moment is what one guy funded by the anonymization of stolen coldcard funds likes and does not like, so, for now, I am personally not going to follow that standard. stackers are much more important than an algo.
