I think it's because these are actual communities. The admins are just regular people you can talk to like normally. You choose your community. They're not faceless corporations and I think when a network is a corporation the platform gets less respectful conversation for understandable reasons.

Reminds me just a little bit of USENET before Eternal September and all the spam that essentially ruined it. Same for the days of BBSes.
