Anyone who's reading this, do you think what's wanted at LW is very different from what's wanted in other venues?

I haven't noticed, but this is the first online community I've belonged to. I'm used to writing fiction, which may affect the way I post here, but if it does I don't notice it affecting it. Commenting feels natural. I don't try to make my sentences complex; if anything, I try to make them as simple as they can be to still convey my point. And at the very least, my comments and posts aren't drastically downvoted.
