It definitely tends to polarize on topics pretty fast. I think that's just what happens when in communities that

1. get big
     - there's a lot of opinions to compress
2. everyone is forced to view/discuss the same stuff
     - dissenting pov's get drowned out

i dunno... i feel like it's probably fine for a certain subset of the population. i used to feel like it was great, but then i noticed what i thought/think was astroturfing of dissenting opinions. and then i sorta grew out of the place.

now, it sucks for me to be there. the majority views are orthodox in the extreme... just feels gross now.
