There are a lot of 40-60% popular views that invalidate someone's existence according to certain parts of twitter.
If you say gun owners dont deserve to live or that the world would be better without white people, there are way to let it be said and discuss it without heavy moderation.
People are just mad at mad people. That s why it s a frigging jungle online. But if you stay patient with mad people or ignore them if you re not sure, then moderation stays on important things like doxxing
I agree. However I do see this happening. Its kinda crazy. I remember being on the internet as a kid (probably on sites I had no business being on lol) and people would get into heated arguments but I don't think it ever resulted in "I hate you, I'm going to try to get you banned via politics". I was around animation and creative type forums and people would go at each others throats but then like you say, bond over talking about a new software tool or animation lol.
How are those two people's lives on social media incompatible? There's a million things they could have in common - a love of tacos, a band to talk about, a shared joke about a dumb celebrity, etc etc.99.9999% of the time different people can and do coexist in the same spaces.
The idea that two wildly different people with different points of view can't even exist in the same social network is nonsense. The only time incompatible points of view are a problem is when one or other person decides to try to invalidate the existence of the other. That's what moderation is there to stop. If people are just tweeting about their life there's nothing to moderate.
