Just to be clear: in some drama about one year ago the moderation team considered that people could be banned solely based on their political opinions if those happened to be right-wing / MAGA / anti-wokism.

Then the drama extended because people, even if they weren't right-wing/MAGA/anti-wokism had to agree with the moderators' political opinions.

So when TFA writes this:

> apparently trying to address perceptions of political bias by making political appointments

What they really mean is: "We went so far left our brains left our bodies and we now consider anyone to the right of Stalin to be a nazi".

I vouched for this comment, but perhaps you could please phrase the last point more gently.
> anti-wokism

Is that being up in arms about the usage of woks? I always knew it was a fairly controversial piece of kitchen equipment, but this is a concerning development.
