To say my peace while semi coherent
Compared to what was happening two months ago, yeah the jedi are different. They are active in searching for the enemies of the Republic because as Ashin said the bad guys of the board weren't doing anything. They were content to sit around and just relax while the Republic itself was so inactive it could be considered dead. That was because the culmination of the Republic and jedi going for peace in the galaxy led to a treaty that failed. The order failed with it becoming not about protecting the people but protecting the peace treaty. Two very different things. The other issue is perception, you are excluding the rest of the order the service corps, the healers and the ones who are there but not known as often because people don't want to use them as much.
Now it is easy to do, plenty of people ignore the Republic part of the faction and say the jedi lead everything which they have to do. There is maybe ten or less republic characters while the other 98% of the faction is the jedi. The jedi have to lead threads, have to be at the forefront otherwise we'll go back to where it was with the jedi almost becoming a minor faction and the Republic fading away due to inactivity. No one wanted that so new blood and new direction was given galvanizing the faction into something better. Ben Watts wanted to start it but after metalorn he just made the treaty with Aleidis that damned the faction.
Selena follows the direction of the chancellor offering advice and wisdom to better protect the Republic from those who seek to undermine it but there is a reason why the chancellor isn't the faction owner. The faction owner represents the majority of its players who are acting like jedi in canon with more variety then ever, from Ayna Kuro the Dark Lady to the ones like Yoda and Mace. There are to many flavors of jedi to say which one is right and Yoda, Obi-wan hey had plenty of flaws, plenty of faults that wouldn't have made them great jedi to others.
As a faction admin in the republic we can't order people to rp jedi this way or that, we can control one or two things like advanced knowledge but this is something important to remember. Between the purge, the new jedi order, the wipe and refounding of it, the term "jedi" doesn't actually have a definition, there is no defined traits for it besides doing good to protect the people of the galaxy. Yes we can fight for peace but as a few on the council have pointed out. Peace doesn't matter if the people are dead, because the people create the peace.
