Do online Muslim spaces feel more sheltered or conservative than Muslims I meet in person?

As-salamu alaykum - I’ve been thinking about something and wanted to share my observation. It seems like Muslims I come across in certain online spaces tend to be much more sheltered/isolated/religious/conservative (call it what you will) and hold stronger opinions on a lot of topics than the Muslims I meet offline. People online often have very firm views and intense reactions. Not necessarily good or bad - just something I’ve noticed. I’ve even seen terms thrown around that feel a bit derogatory. When I use marriage apps, scroll social media, or go out in the community, I don’t encounter as many young Muslims who are super opinionated as I do online. I live in North America, and I think many people I see online are here too. From what I’ve seen, Muslims in real life often seem less rigid or less invested in certain debates that get heated online. I don’t mean to criticize - I used to be the same: very opinionated and sheltered until I met more young Muslims after college. I didn’t really know many until after I graduated, and I was surprised by how some things had become normalized. Over time I adjusted and became less reactive. I’ve read comments echoing this idea that people who spend a lot of time in some online circles might be more isolated, which could explain the strong stances. That’s just my experience here in North America. I would have thought these spaces would attract a broad mix of Muslims, but that hasn’t always been the case, especially when the focus is on social issues rather than purely religious discussion. Again, not condemning anyone - just curious to hear others’ thoughts and experiences. JazakAllah khair for any perspectives.
