> Social janitorial work
This is the most hilarious euphemism for "censorship" I've ever heard.

"Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation."
People here are pretty strict about the types of comments that fly; for example, memes and dumb jokes are not something that the community here accepts. Personally I think that's great and the site is better for it, but it's not censorship to hold the other people in your forum or message board to certain standards of communication.
It really depends on the method used. Simply using downvotes to indicate disapproval, while not a route I would personally go, is, in my opinion, a productive way to discourage negative content.
The guy that comes into her comment thread acknowledging he was one of the called out tweets goes on to say that he was admittedly kicking someone because they were down. What value does jumping on such a bandwagon add to the real issues besides reinforcing that behavior in others?
No, no I didn't. I was just making a joke.
It is not remotely "censorship" for a private individual to stop you from producing content in the spaces they control. They owe you nothing.
Oh look, I just did some social janitorial work. Was your comment somehow deleted by my act?
Should I presume that Convo provides no moderation mechanisms because they would constitute censorship?
You called someone on the Internet "wrong" and "rude", which is about as far as you can get from "work" without losing consciousness.
If it was used to mean "indicating disapproval", then I have absolutely no problem with it.

Which doesn't read like it implies editing or deletion.
