I have a similar experience. However, I feel that they have been getting a bit more argumentative in the last months (or maybe the argumentative voices are getting louder). I really appreciate how aggressively they defend our trans brothers, sisters, and enbies but, there seems to be a lot more focus on "dunking" than community building or discussions. Also, they're at times quick to pull out the torches, rather than clarify and not always successful at preventing leftist sectarianism.

That said, by blocking problematic or unhealthily rage-inducing communities and users, I tend to get on alright in about 90% of interactions and learn a bit, from time to time, even if it's not what's intentionally taught (the commonality of historical revisionist takes in sectarian topics, for example).
