There’s a filter but it’s not necessarily a “sanity” filter. People on here generally seem to put more effort into learning and understanding the causes that they support than the average person on Facebook does, but those causes themselves are often far out of the mainstream and people’s understanding of why someone might disagree with them in good faith is often rather poor.

That’s fair, still, I’d rather talk to “crazy” people who reasoned their way into than “normal” people who got there purely based on vibes
