Its slightly but consistently different. I moved from Austin (after 30+ years in TX) to the west coast, and the group think / speech policing is extremely noticeable to me (spend most of my time in Portland and SF), even though its not extremely different.
That being said I think a more nuanced but still political take on the move is, having moderators is important, and its less likely those moderation will be pressured to shut down if the moderators are actual jobs in a red state. Further the jobs are low skill jobs so they can be moved back (or elsewhere) as needed. Easy move even if the political capital is minor.
