ehhh I dunno

feels like I just made a fool out of myself in public😬

You're already doing what a good moderator separates you one from an average one: engage, explain and adapt!

much appreciated🤗

Nah, you're fine. You show qualities that a lot of moderators are lacking and are rightfully criticised for. You engage in discussion, are open to get your mind changed but don't blindly follow anyone's suggestion without wrapping your own mind around it.

I would gladly follow your lead if I would still be in the business of moderating.

It's a learning process that will never stop, and everyone does mistakes. In moderation quite often because you have to make a lot of decisions in a short time.

What seperates a good mod is that they would acknowledge those mistakes and try to make it better next time.

I'm from Europe and I had to adjust my understanding what NSFW is to the US market. I would set the bar way lower myself in the beginning.

You're owning a mistake in public, and explaining that and why you understand you were wrong. That's not making a fool of yourself, that's publicly growing as a person.
