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.
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
