I’m agreeing with the person I responded to. I think the community/subreddit setup is prone to echo chambers, and a lot of people assume their bubble’s standards are how the whole site should behave. It can be bad if you’re used to behaving a certain way that’s considered “extreme” outside of your bubble. For example - a video game community may have different social standards than an LGBT community, and two LGBT communities on different instances will be different.
Politics are prone to attracting extreme behaviors, and I’ve already seen that some democrats here can get just as aggressive as conservatives on reddit. And just like reddit, that aggressive behavior isn’t allowed in all communities. But if it’s not curbed right away it can lead to the entire site having a hostile undertone to every interaction. I don’t know how things will go long term but I’m not a fan of the extremism I’ve seen popping up so far.
