Do you remove moss from flowerbeds?

A lot of articles are appearing in my feed about removing it. Is it actually a problem?

    What feed serves you.  They must be tidier than GW whose mantra seems to be.: 
    " if it grows, leave it growing".

    Moss usually occurs when there is shade, or poorly drained soil, so it is a sign you need to improve conditions.

    In true GW spirit, I leave it unless it's in the way.

    I don't bother either. It grows all over the place here. It all helps with the general picture   :)
    I'd only remove it from pots which have long term planting, or similar, in order to refresh the soil etc. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Same as B and fairygirl,  depends what’s it growing in with,  it does harbour a lot of slugs.

    Thank you. Doesn't sound like something to get too flustered about.
