I would love to have actual discussions with people regarding certain views I hold. But quite often others just refuse to even entertain that I have a different view because x and y. And to them I am just dumb/uneducated/other things to discredit me having an opinion at all.

Hell, I went quite a bit more towards "bad" opinions, just because that side is more accepting of discussion/dissent.

It isn't just corporations banning subreddits/websites that drive people into echochambers, but also people simply refusing to engage at all.
