I’ve interacted with communities here for some of my interests that I hadn’t really interacted much with on reddit due to my primary interests being more niche and having a slower rate of content generation.

It’s kind of good and kind of bad though. Some communities for things I care about are full of people who are dogmatic to the point of being actively stupid. But I do like thinking about the ideas and topics of those communities, and discussing flawed ideologies within a particular community is probably worthwhile and necessary.
