There's a mod that allows borderlands 2 to be split screen

That's much better than opt out, the default shouldn't direct you to hateful communities

Do you have a recommend server? I just joined the latter one, does that mean I won't be able to participate in certain communities?

The first thing I saw on this site was "you're a N*"** F***" which isn't a great sign..

I tried signing up to multiple different instances I guess? The first few were full. I'm new here and just want to make sure I'm at the right place, not loving that the first thing I see is pretty racist and homophobic

I think I get where they're coming from, it's like how sometimes how I'll pop on over to /r/conservative every now and then to read through some of the posts, although the majority is "the schools are turning our kids trans"

I like to see things from other people's perspective, despite how inherently opposed to it I may be. When I hear a new story for example, there's typically two versions of it. One from a voice that seems reasonable and well tempered and one that's rash and unhinged.

Often I'll find that the truth sometimes lies somewhere in between, not saying it's right in the middle, but having a fuller perspective helps me come to own conclusions.

With that said, I don't think this way of consuming media works for all people or even most people. I'm a pretty objective person, maybe even to a fault. I'm not offended easily, which makes viewing communities that many would find delusional and offensive not an unpleasant experience for me.
