How is it insane to only welcome people to a community that act respectful towards other people? That seems like a really good way to build a solid community.

Well it's not insane to only welcome people that act respectful towards other people.
We'll see if this will be a solid community I guess.
It already is :)
That's not the case with the Gleam community though. Unless you're willing to adopt their opinions / values / moral stance on certain issues, you won't be treated respectfully - you will be ostracized for having an unpopular opinion or view on a given issue.
It is a totally insane way to run a project, and it's quite obvious the Gleam community is run by persons who are unable to handle people with opinions that differ from their own.
It does sound like a great way to build an echo chamber.
Unpopular opinion like... being racist?
Ah yes, because not automatically supporting grifts like the BLM movement (which enriched the founders and did very little for the black community at large), makes someone a racist - I totally forgot!
