Bad mod action in anti-work community (slrpnk.net)

This thread was inappropriately censored by either @punkisdead@slrpnk.net or @mambabasa@slrpnk.net claiming:

“Reason: Reason: Literally the opposite of anti-work is "over employment" which OP is arguing for”

There is an English comprehension problem by the mod. Would someone whose first language is English please:

notice that over employment is actually the problem that the thread’s thesis seeks remedies for. Being forced into a full-time or nothing ultamatim is a very common problem that oppresses anti-work proponents. It’s the single most common problem we face. Appalling that a mod would block the discussion.
undo the improper mod action

The mod’s action to suppress is actually a pro-work action, as it prevents discussion around solutions to over-employment.

Well I think that's the exact issue. I am a mod as well, and yet I don't want this kind of power because I know we are all imperfect. Yet the need for online moderation remains, and to some extent, I need to moderate if I want certain communities to continue to exist. It is a conundrum. I don't have any direct solutions to offer right now, so I think I need to do some reading on possible alternatives maybe. But I am posting this in the hopes that others may have ideas and to raise awareness so that when the time does come to adopt a better system, I hope there can be consensus around this.

I also agree that having a more positive and good faith user base is important. But it's even less clear how to achieve this. Traditionally it has been done mainly by bannings which I doubt is the best method. It's something I've been thinking about a lot. The moderation issue is just one aspect, but I feel that online discourse in general is extremely hostile and it seems to be overflowing into offline society too.

I know that on reddit there was some kind of crowd sourced moderation of r/anarchism. I dont have any direct experience regarding this way of moderation, as I was never part of that way of doing things.
