MODERATORS
You have the freedom to do so. Start your own hosting site or learn to code. Nexus doesn't have to host shit they want to. Stop being a bitch and forcing those to do what you want.
What I was trying to convey is that gamers should have the freedom to customize their gaming experience based on their preferences. It's not about forcing anyone to do anything, but rather having the option to make changes if we want to. It's all about personal choice and freedom in how we enjoy our games.
Removing a harmless mod is a slippery slope because then moderators are just removing mods based on their political ideolagy. Kinda ridiculous if you ask me.
Removing a harmless feature is a slippery slope because then modders are just removing features based on their political ideology. Kinda ridiculous if you ask me.
It's just as ridiculous the other way around though.
You're point is valid about the two-way street that is ideological moderation, whether it's done by modders or platform moderators. While some argue that removing certain features serves to make a political statement, the same could be said for removing mods themselves. Both actions can be seen as influenced by the ideological beliefs of those making the decisions. In this case, the main question is: who gets to decide what crosses the line and what doesn't? And should these decisions be open to discussion within the community?
