Can you translate the American for me? “Wide variance”, does that they’re being assholes?

I'd say "wide variance in the level of kindness" is a rather British way to describe some of the opinions that have been voiced.

Well a little translation would be that some are very kind, some are total assholes, and everything in between. But your reading is probably more accurate.

  • I think the literal interpretation is correct here. It's a way of saying "you, dear reader who runs this combination of things, might be very kind, but some of your compatriots will be unusually unkind and will turn up in my issue tracker and on my socials to complain".
