@amcewen@mastodon.me.uk That part I understand, though that's more the other part of the equation - the radical folk not scaring off the non-radical folk. That part I know how to do.
But how do the radical folk fare under this, are they actually able to do radical projects, and if yes, how is the interference from non-radical folk which permeates other such communities prevented?
Because if you have to constantly walk on your toes to not come across too radical, then in practice that mostly ends up just de-radicalizing projects, rather than the other way around (so an Overton window shift but in the other direction).
@amcewen@mastodon.me.uk Basically what I'm trying to get at is that in my experience, in a mixed environment like that, it's basically always the radical folks who are socially expected to yield, and not the non-radical folks, and the article seems to suggest that that's not the case here and I wonder how :)
