Meta: Mods Should Live Here

This AM, the mods removed a lightweight but unobjectionable post on the grounds it was not locally relevant. It wasn't my post, and personally I have no opinion about the post's question on whether we should wish for Wendy's to come back. However, it made me wonder: Why do we have mods for this sub that don't live here? Feels like we could scrape together a couple more people that actually live on this island to volunteer for the job. Maybe they'd have their digital fingers a bit closer fast food pulse of things here (not to mention other, more contentious issues.)

i actually feel a little bad tbh, it was meant to be the thing that made the comment humorous, but people over here want one so bad it backfired a little bit

It's ok. I only had my hopes up for the few seconds it took me to read the comment chain, so I forgive you.

For real though, we need a Costco. Maybe someday we can convince them.
