Anyplace can grow or decline, but right now my anecdotal experience here is a place looking for agreement not challenge. That’s not useless—we can learn from our own team, but it’s cowardly and imprudent.

I think "looking for agreement not challenge" is right, but I didn't see all *that* much of the latter on Twitter -- putting aside simple trolling, the collisions were generally more inadvertent. But the greater range meant more collisions, more genuine surprise.
I also find the gang-tackling here to be more unidirectional. On Twitter, people could be ratio'd from any direction. I prefer that slightly but only if one could keep volume and language and othering constant.
Interesting. May well be right! I may have met my many virtual less conservative interlocutors (now friends I hope) at first in collision. But, still, it happened.
I suppose I’m a naive believer in reason (however slowly it advances) and think we defeat the enemies better by making them confront our superior claims if only after they walk away in anger, having sent a hostile meme in reply.
I find zero engagement anywhere nowadays which may say more about me than a platform. Consensus on twitter id BS is bad. I have no opinion. But I think many ppl on Twitter are acting like it’s 2016 and it’s definitely not.

Perhaps we have a different understanding of the other team but I’m not interested in sharing a space with them.
I think there is an extremely low level of trust which makes discussion hard.
