moderation is not necessarily about whacking things with a big stick either.
most of the time, simply taking a user aside and saying "can we not?" is enough to get the behavior to stop.
freenode (RIP) referred to this approach as catalysing. libera.chat has an entire playbook on it: https://libera.chat/guides/catalyst
the goal of moderation is to keep productive conversation flowing and the temperature low.
