Response to the recent concerns about censorship

Recently one of the r/AragonProject moderators, u/lightcoin, removed a thread citing Code of Conduct violations. Many including the author of the thread expressed concern that the moderation was censorship and stifling an important discussion. While the intention was to maintain established standards we have for discussions in the community, not censorship, we do understand why people are concerned.

After listening to feedback from all sides of the discussion, the thread in question has been re-opened in good faith. It's ok to be critical of people, companies, projects, etc, as long as it's mature and constructive. And we should strive to prevent the community from becoming an echo chamber.

Thank you to all who spoke out. We admire the passion on all sides of the debate and hope it can be channeled into good conversations around how we can work together to help the project improve and succeed.

See you at AraCon,

Luis
