We should _hope_ that different communities have different moderation standards. On SE it was a huge problem that users started applying the standards from one community onto others. The majority of new users came from SO - a site with fairly strict moderation and zero tolerance against subjective topics. Then from SO they "spilled over" into the other communities and started applying the same strict moderation policies there. But by their nature, those other communities often discussed much more subjective and fuzzy topics than a site focused on practical engineering.

I think Codidact as whole should only state the general Terms of Service/Code of Conduct, but otherwise leave it to each site to decide how they should moderate content.
