It’s mostly extremist left, I just threw in the right so I didn’t get downvoted lol

The downvotes are from Americans. Remember that downvotes are not a measurement of correctness, it’s just popularity and there are more Americans here than any other country

For me it’s the extremist left and right it’s had to block. It really is better without them

Good point but there has to be a balance somewhere.

If you have extremest moderators in charge of a community which is seemingly unbiased by its name can be misleading. Others will not create duplicate communities because one already exists with that name. And then those mods ban anyone who opposes their view creates a strong echo chamber and a unrealistic and unrepresentative community.

I’m mostly saying this because of moderators of noncredibledefense for example. They will ban people who state they oppose an all out war with Russia, which is madness. Yes it’s a removedpost community but there’s a line.

That’s basically the upvote/downvote button.

This should be an overhaul of the moderation system in general. I find some communities have mods which ban based on disagreement alone regardless of any imposed rules.

I would like to see some kind of community review system on bans and their reasonings where the outcome can result in a punishment/demotion of the moderator who abused their power.

Don’t be so sure about that my son

As a Englishman, I can’t have you talking down on the Scots. They’re the only ones left which are still decent

I gave you that information, I said “from 1 to 2” and added context of “a tree” (singular)

My terribly made point is that although technically correct when talking about relative increase it’s dumb as removed to say trees “surged in population” after adding just one more on one street. It’s a drop on the ocean.

I feel like the term surge respects the final total relative to what its maximum could be as well as the relative increase. But obviously language is regional and up for interpretation

The council planted a new tree on my road, trees surged in population from 1 to 2 yesterday
