Ideologically these Twitter exodus communities will become even more microcosmic than the presumed "alt-right, redpilled" ideology they purport to escape. Twitter may be these things in part, but by being a direct reaction away from these things, the new networks will become necessarily more niche and specialized ideologically.
In the same way that the ideological specialization of Twitter is not helpful for its growth, these new networks will be likewise more of an echo-chamber, and regardless of the "correctness" of their ideology, the unilaterality of it will starve it of the multifaceted discourse which provides the "town square" functionality which is core to these platforms' ethos.
using big words doesn’t make this intellectual. people want to make jokes and have light hearted conversations with others without hatred spewing everywhere. it’s pretty simple.
As I said, my point is irrespective of the righteousness of any particular ideologies. Your reflexive ideological defense buttresses my position of ideological segregation prompting the twitter exodus.
If you desire light hearted discussion, I suggest avoiding nonresponsive arguments and implications of pseudointellectualism.
I get it. less diversity of thought means more echo chambers. you're saying that fundamentally these platforms will fail to be the town squares they want to be by doing that. and I'm saying that most people do not want a town square, they just want a dinner party without the village idiots.
in your metaphor, my point is that the table that started with village idiots at it and scared some people away still has more diversity of thought than the table who have self-selected a new table.
I just don't think people necessarily want it. most are just looking to enjoy themselves.
that doesn't mean we don't _need_ what you're talking about, I just think there are people pushing two very different directions, what masses want vs what society needs
