I’ll bet you’re thinking of the ones that were usually boosted (or whatever it’s called) on Twitter. The worse they were, the more traction they got. Might not work the same here.
Idk. I believe there’s something gained from diff viewpoints.

That's been done 8 years already, remember?
I think that 'echo chamber' consensus is pretty much "Nahhhh... FUCK that noise."
does that sound like someone trying to reach a consensus to you?
It's impossible to have a discussion with someone who won't acknowledge objective facts.
Is there something they have to offer that is worse than the harm?
Because right now your point seems to be that I should have a worse life because principles that you can't articulate.
Nevermind. Do what you like.
And no one is giving me anything of value. And if you voted for Trump, you don't get to claim that you "personally" support my right to an abortion.
In the last 5 years, I've had maybe 2 or 3 decent conversations about disagreements. The rest were name calling, gaslighting, lying, gloating and insults. One can usually tell from their posts when it's best to block...
Those with more liberal views just received the biggest no vote, including from younger people. That's real and it ain't changing if we just hide in an echo chamber here.
Fascists got voted in and you want to scream about economic policy into the void.
People voted for fascists because they got whipped up by fascist rhetoric promoting a culture war.
That rhetoric was promoted on nefarious social media platform. Those platforms need to be starved of the oxygen of legitimacy, but you can't just block the people who were whipped up.
Ten years experience here of dealing with this in the UK.
Check who is in our government now as to whether we are any better learning how to deal with it.
That doesn't work, it spectacularly does not work.
Think about it in your spare time.
It ain’t changing if you don’t hide either. When ppl think the status quo is shit, they vote against the incumbent. Online discourse won’t change that.
But the fascist propaganda machine will be in overdrive. If those voters are blocked and cancelled then they'll only get that side of the story.
The responses to my post sadly demonstrate that Dem voters have learnt nothing about how to do that.
