More like this community is for certain kinds of posts. Like a cats community banning dog posts, for example. Posting dog posts in a cats community and acting like they belong isn’t done in good faith. Ignorance maybe, but you don’t strick me as ignorant.
And what damage? The old community was overrun with off topic/bad faith/troll/whatever-it-is posts. Not to mention completely abandoned by the mods.

But this isn’t just a simple fan subreddit for animals. It’s a place that influences votes, and therefore is subject to the dangers of echo chambers.
Echo chambers increase extremism, polarization, and can otherwise negatively effect people.
I don’t think we’re in any danger of right wing extremism on lemmy.
That’s what people thought on reddit.
