I have a sneaking suspicion that you can safely support tremendous community size if you don't have enragement-driven ordering of the feed. (I.e. strict chronological ordering only)
We tend to pick our online friends according to mostly shared values, the same as real-life friends. Enragement ML then proceeds to amplify the differences instead of letting you experience that you're mostly similar, radicalizing both partners in the long term.
A chronological order minimizes that experience simply by the probabilities - if most of your values overlap for everybody in the feed, the chances of you seeing a large chunk you do not want to see is small. You're occasionally reminded that you don't always agree, but it's in a context of lots of other posts that don't violate your values.
(Part two of the problem are searchable feeds, where groups of people just wait to keyword-snipe)
