"When we delete a comment here on the Tavern, it is 100% censorship."

You (Justin), and previously Jeff, are/were very fair about deleting comments in the Tavern. However, other authors religiously deleted comments that expressed the slightest negative opinions about Gutenberg and how WordPress is operated in general, regardless if the opinions were true or not, and also note that foul language was never used. That is why the number of comments are increasing especially on articles that you personally post. On top of that, both you and Jeff were and are very truthful and fair with the current state of affairs, meaning that Gutenberg will be awesome, but not yet, every update is 2 steps forward and one backwards, and not everything is going according to plan. Tavern stopped being this "propaganda" machine, and in my eyes, you gained the credibility back. I'm so glad you joined the Tavern team, I just wish Jeff would come back, I miss his podcasts - maybe you should start one as well to pluck that hole that Jeff left behind.

I believe you wrote an article here about the Tavern statistics, and this might be a good indication why people stopped commenting or outright ignoring posts - I still do for certain authors, but never your posts.
