The site can be just a wee bit culty sometimes, by which I mean it pattern matches in a non trivial way to some other cult-like organizations, not that it’s literally a cult.
I could list off some of them but then we’d get into the game where people pick each element in isolation and argue that it is not 100% correlated with actual cults.
It’s not that less wrong ticks all the cult checkboxes or that every cult checkbox is conclusive but it does check more than most organization and enough to give it a vibe that makes people wary.
