The only data I have is what I’ve seen. What quotes you provided described the two sides of the US political spectrum, which is widely understood to be significantly skewed to the right with respect to the rest of the world.

Moderation policy is itself an ideological choice. Seeking civility and avoiding meta-commentary doesn’t affect all political stances evenly.

That's true, although seeking civility is not the issue here. We dropped that language years ago because it leads to wrong associations.

The issue is that we don't want the site to burn itself to a crisp (the well known default outcome of internet forums). If you've got a better idea how we can achieve that, I'd love to hear it.
