    Absolutely agree. There’s a minority of highly polarized people who encourage a false binary view of the world - where anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with you is your enemy, and questioning even a subtle aspect of an opinion is an all-out attack. These people post so much they dominate forums and create the false appearance of trends. Most people aren’t nearly that polarized.

    Yep. Musk. Trump. Rogan. Spez. Libs for Tik Tok. Zuckerberg. And so on. It’s like giving Conservatives access to the web lead to it being a septic tank.

    A “few” people? The problem is not a handful of loudmouths, but the masses hanging on their lips. An influencer is not influencing without a mass of followers.

    Nah, “the rest of us” is ruining the internet by following the people in the top of the trash pit.

    You know… nobody is stopping you from self hosting, building a website or digging a gopherhole?
