As a moderator for an online community, I have been blocking users who express opposing views or criticism against me. How can I avoid being accused of censorship or discrimination?

In order to avoid being accused of censorship or discrimination as a moderator, it is important to create a set of clear community guidelines that are applicable to all users, and stick to them impartially. Additionally, use automated tools such as keyword filters along with user reports and blocked lists for flagging inappropriate posts or activities rather than manually deleting them or blocking users. Finally, be sure to document your decision-making process and respond promptly when users appeal the decisions you make as a moderator.

Moderating an online community can be a difficult task, and blocking users is sometimes necessary in order to keep the discussion on-topic and respectful. But in order to avoid any accusations of censorship or discrimination, you should be transparent about why you are blocking users and ensure that you are not applying your own biases when making moderation decisions.
