This used to be true, but now all the controversial users are blocked or left, including the far-left users. Only content moderators and account blockers are left.

Interesting! I think part of the reason is that Christianity is based on Judaism, and Islam is based on both Christianity and Judaism. But Jews (myself included) really like to promote our religion
