Uhh, I looked at a few of their issues around governance, and for a project that is new and that I've never heard of, I must say I feel a bit put off already.

It seems to me there's a lot of "this comment was removed for being off topic", "moderation discussions are off topic", "that comment was removed because the user is banned", and what feels like a decent amount of vitriol.

It seems like an ostensibly very democratic approach. I'm not sure such a software project can function if it's democratic instead of being more do-ocratic. But I wish them good luck nevertheless.

I'm inclined to be sympathetic to the moderators here.

It looks like they're trying to use the issue tracker for a formal decision-making process (described at the top of the first issue you link) and to route other discussion to a linked forum topic (or possibly several). It's frustrating when tons of people come in and ignore that process, and then even double-down by posting that they don't like that posts not following what was asked are removed.
