As the title suggests, now that more people are moving from Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and whatnot towards platforms on Fediverse and Bluesky, will that not create an even bigger split between political views? Most people who are not afraid of big tech and its influence will probably stay there.

We were already not always able to communicate and discuss certain topics as normal human beings, but now we probably won’t even see each other’s posts.

What do you think?

    So you think there wasn’t always that gap, right? It was always there, it’s just that the right wasn’t so vocal and the “left” (center being generous) wasn’t so obvious anti low class.

      Yes of course I knew there was always a gap, but the last decade or so it feels like its getting bigger and bigger, also because of social media. Same with Truth Social, there probably only “right wingers” there agreeing on each other’s opinions without needing a discussion.

        Maybe having different platform make it better than unknown algorithms that make it seem like everyone agrees with you. Like now you know there’s this whole thing for opposite view and you could check that sometimes. But of course that’ll only work for people that like to think, main problem now is they don’t.
