A well mixed cesspool is balanced. People at least seeing each other opinions. Understanding that there is like half of the population that doesn't agree with them. A well mixed cesspool is healthier than what we have.

A 'well mixed' cesspool doesn't exist, because inevitably in the absence of moderation one side of the cesspool will chase out the other. It's usually the more racist, virulent side.

See: Voat, Gab and so forth.

A well mixed cesspool? No one with any sense wants to hang out in a cesspool. That's the problem. You are expecting human behavior to change. And worse, on the internet none the less.
