The difference is simple:
- This is a Haskell forum.
- There are plenty of people with experience in the field.
So even if I may be not terribly excited about another monad tutorial, I recognise that I get what I subscribed for and also there is a good chance that I might be pleasantly surprised by an unexpected insight from an expert.
Neither condition holds if someone here decides to share their uninvited opinion on crypto / military / climate:
- I did not subscribe to learn more about crypto.
- Participants are not experts in the field.
Refering to @silky’s point, it’s not about turning a blind eye to problems outside of Haskell bubble. But I’m an adult, thank you very much, I can make my informed opinion on topics. There are plenty of articles and books and specialised boards, if I wish to educate myself.
