My question then would be, coming away from acknowledging hive mind and be wary of it, is there any way to get rid of the hive mind of a community? Or at least dampen it's effect so a group with another opinion doesn't leave and take the possible conflict and resulting discussions with them?
Because it seems everyone wants meaningful discussions but everything right now seems counterintuitive towards that goal so do people want pseudo-discussions or is the system not good enough to promote it. Could discussions be promoted by mods? Or is it the inevitable fate of bigger subs?

I don't think so, there are communities with less hivemind, but they are made up of smaller communities with a lot of hivemind.
That's possible, although some members of a hive can be extremist enough to block this.
Most people don't actually want to discussed, but be told that they're right. That's how the hives grow.
Probably, but users in disliked hives will move to their own
It seems so, for any number of people sharing some kind of "culture".
