tbh how is this different than most subs?

this is a feature, not a bug...it keeps these people out of the real world and glued to their keyboards where their blast radius is limited to their own echo chamber

It's completely different than the subs I browse. But I avoided subs of a particular political persuasion or another. I was mostly looking at technical subs with good, apolitical moderation.

I tend to avoid politics online -- even if I agree with them. They're rarely useful and I'm just not interested, in a lot of cases.

This is not preferable. Extremist bullshit is the only product of echo chambers. Eventually it breaches containment and becomes a real world problem.

That's not how extremist online echo chambers tend to play out. See January 6th for an easy example.
