For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

Wouldn't that just push the problem up to the instance owner level?

Also, the idea of unbiased media is a nice theoretical construct but if you look at RL media options like books, news papers, TV,... you will notice that none of them are unbiased. At best you have a balanced mix of sources biased in different directions.

I dont think you understand what I mean. Active censorship of topics and discussions that go against the mod teams agenda is the problem. The content is provided by the users, the mods should not be deep throating you your media. They are there to moderate... a discussion... go look up those definitions.
