Right, and the moderation has always been left leaning. I actually bake that in to how I behave here, specifically regulating literally every word I type. In this post here, @Miller who I normally consider a decent enough mod, calls me out for insulting a poster that had repeatedly lied about me denying genocide, and then directly called me a Nazi (one of the worst things in the world you can actually be called.)

Not surprisingly I faced sanction while the lefty poster faced none, in the pit, where insults are supposed to be allowed.
