I feel most of the extreme views can be moderated with a ban list of several instances (notably hexbear and lemmygrad) and several individuals. The toxicity of the discourse lowers drastically.

I tend to tag users that seem disingenuously pushing agendas, and if they persist in that consequently they go on the ban list.

That improved my experience by miles and made clear that the group of people doing this is actually quite marginal.
