So you're only interested in someone that pushes engagement and not in who's actually fit to be a mod?
You've also called out other users for not having post history in that community. Is engagement your only concern? Wether or not they post, their critiscism is valid and holds water.
I don't understand how "I've felt he's pushing an agenda" isn't an instant disqualifier from moderation.
Nominating him for moderator is an endorsement of their opinions, you've granted them power therefore you hold the opinion they're of sound judgement.
I'm hesitant to post in a 'health" community that's more interested in driving up engagement than combatting pseudoscience and misinfo
Unemployed are not a negative on society. They hold no money out of rotation, and the only resources they ask of us are the minimum necessary.
The negative drains on society are those who demand more than their share of resources, wealth that sits in coffers, held out of rotation, denying us their share of the tax pool, constantly begging for more and more, only to use it to squeeze more out of society.
I think the goal is more systemic and involves less resistance. Happy accident? Convenient alternative?
