Most people aren't even aware of the impact that different filters have on different sites and communities, let alone try to consider all the pros and cons associated with them.

Do you think it's a coincidence every place that has no filters naturally trends towards the gutter and becomes the same as every other place, with ever increasing censorship and mobs of brainwashed idiots from the hive mind shutting down all wrong thoughts?

Sullivan’s First Law was published in 1989: “All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing.”

The correlation between normies and leftism is worse than ever today, which is why this phenomenon applies to virtually every single kind of community, regardless of how far removed from politics it should be.

This isn't my first rodeo. I've spent time in enough places on the internet over the past 2 decades to notice many such filters, and the effects they have, all on my own.

This goes for everything from extremely right-wing communities like Voat or 4chan, to many extremely centrist communities like Tom MacDonald's fan base.

Most filters come to existence by luck and natural selection. The only communities which survive are those which just happened to have suitable filters protecting them.

Sometimes people are smart enough to actively make use of filters though. I actually came across an interesting example of someone demonstrating deliberate use of a harmless filter only yesterday.
