The thing is, it made for some hilarious trolling opportunities.
And occasionally you'd find someone also going against the hivemind that shared your views
Curious me here, how would you troll?
For example, in the r/newzealand Reddit which is full of bleeding heart social justice warrior lefties, I would post comments in support of one of our minor parties that sits more centre-right on the spectrum (there is an election on at the moment)
That really riles them up, I get a heap of downvotes but also a couple of supportive comments from the 2% of other people on that sub that dare have a different opinion from the hivemind
omg this is just poking the bear. I love it
On other unrelated things, this is why political groups should be not reserved, leaves an echo chamber that traps people
