In contrast with most of the comments, I strongly support this change. Social media has been a tool for radicalization, and this is a potential solution worth trying. Will simply informing people that they're drifting beyond the Overton window could put a damper on the radicalization? I don't know, but I certainly hope so.

Explicitly exposing ever-changing conceptions of acceptable ideas by the site seems like a good way to lose dissatisfied users who give up trying to improve discussion.

Maybe that achieves the same thing in a simpler way than changing minds. But does shrinking the userbase please advertisers?
