I'm curious, I see a lot of people making mention of seeing admins address this sort of behavior and say it's okay, or avoid having to get involved (and, y'know, actually administrate something), or even partake in this sort of toxic discourse. Is anybody willing to cop to this sort of behavior and explain why? Like there's a lot of community member perspective here and how they see this, but how do the admins, in particular the ones that behave in these sort of ways, feel about this matter and the opinion of everybody here who expresses a lack of confidence in the admin team's ability to deal with this issue?
Additionally, how do the non-offending admins feel about this, both the (at the very least, perceived) behavior of their fellow admins in these instances and the community's lack of confidence in the admin team?
Also, to the admins who have so far shot down most proposed solutions, is there anything extra you could consider doing besides just enforcing the current rules better? I see a lot of talk about other solutions as leading to other problems, like any potential rule based around politics being used to silence speech in general, and admins being forced to deliberate how to go about enforcing the rule, but how does that differ from the enforcement of any other rule? And the solutions like creating a politics channel, it's said that it wouldn't solve the problem, only move it, wouldn't containing the discussions that are most likely to lead to toxic discourse in their own individual chat make it easier to moderate? I understand there is no "perfect" solution that instantly fixes this issue, but surely something must be better than nothing.
