    Bye. Just leave it to the bots. The way forward is decentralised systems run by people who care about civilised discourse. Like Lemmy and Mastodon. Fuck the toxic dinosaur social media empires.

      To be honest, I was hoping for a little more engagement with the fact that the polarization (or, dare I say, radicalization) under discussion seems inherent to online spaces of any sort, and decentralized spaces aren’t immune to it.

      I agree that “run by people who care” is important, but I’m not sure it’s the answer in and of itself.

      I’m also don’t think that a certain degree of polarization is inherently a bad thing. But I think it deserves more examination that a simple dismissal as something other platforms have to reckon with.
