MODERATORS
There is no good answer to this question, because everyone has their own scale of what they consider harmful.
I think this is a fundamental problem with centralized social media a la Reddit, Twitter, Threads, etc. You're forcing countless different communities with different values and beliefs to share a common space, moderated by people with their own set of values. Of course there will be friction and problems. No matter what you do, there will be groups that feel like they're being censored, and other groups that feel like they're being attacked.
