Depends on your perspective I guess. The way I see it: Moderators are (partially) there to limit the spread of hate so if you are a hate spreader, you would thrive without moderation, but if you are a hate receiver, you’re better off when moderation rules are enforced.
Without moderators most spaces would be completely unusable due to spammers, trolls and others whose behavior and motivations have very little to do with their sexuality, politics, their skin tone or their religion.
You’re trying to dismiss an assertion by submitting a superset of the assertion. Which is usually done to belittle or ignore the orginal point in the argument, which is that a majoirty of those pushing back against CoC also romanticize the old boys group of experts.
The original point was to argue for CoC which is fine and can be done without antagonizing people with the tired old “white cis-het,…” nonsense in this context.
Hate spreaders need people to spread hate to, but people that are targeted by hate tend not to hang around in spaces where unrestrained hate is allowed.

That’s true and is the reason why I said “moderators are (partially) there …”.
