I also like single issue communities. They are indeed a great escape from broader conflicts and focus on specific interesting stuff. But calling them non-political just because it's not the place to argue about e.g. what politics this community reinforces seems wrong. People should understand those are not places to find a balanced view of the world.

But creating a general virtual spaces for people to "live" in while banning discussing on one of the most important aspect of coexisting? This will hardly result in a free society of equally empowered individuals.
