Softer measures like hiding, collapsing or locking a thread, sending it to the bottom of the sort order, showing limited reply depth or rate limiting back and forth replies are probably more effective there than hardline moderation.

And what would be the grounds for doing this? Is this JUST for criticism of Rust? Or does it include a broader category of messages than that?

In my opinion there is no issue. The discussion isn't even heated. I made a SINGLE comment and was immediately accused of trolling. It seems to me that ANY criticism of Rust immediately gets labelled as trolling. Yet lots of topics covered here are contentious and prompt back-and-forth discussions that often are not particularly productive. Only criticism of Rust seems to get immediately labelled as trolling, as far as I can see.
