There’s definitely a martial feel to the way this community requires you to earn its respect, rather than granting it to you almost immediately upon uttering the appropriate shibboleths as is common elsewhere. I’m not sure that’s a bad thing.
Sometimes I feel that upvotes are wordless substitutes for what would otherwise be verbal “strokes” of appreciation; the community prefers when words are used to convey info rather than good vibes.
I would add a 5) which really surprised me when I noticed it: link, link, link. This is a community which lives less than others in an ever-flowing present, but instead constantly strives to weave together past, present and future thought and discourse. That could well be an explanation for your 3.
I feel perfectly at home with 1) as long as it doesn’t reach the passive-voice level of academic styling. I see the writing style here as literate rather than academic. ;)
