I think people need safe echo chambers, even if their views are controversial; if you don't have a closer group of people to share your views with (and/or who share your viewpoints), you'll end up either just not participating at all (because someone will have problems with what you're saying), being a controversial person (and getting a lot of shit and/or even your account removed), or a boring or personality-less person with no personal views. I mean all of those work, but neither of those feel like "just be yourself".

It's probably in line with the thing about id, ego, and super-ego; you need spaces to align your id / ego, not just via the super-ego. if I'm using those phrases correctly. Probably not.
