I honestly think that social networks where you connect the whole world were a bad idea. Basing it on ads and thus engagement made it toxic.

Political left and right both formed extreme wings that attack moderate opinions for not being extreme enough. The right is often threatening violence while the left is trying to get you fired from your job.

We need to get rid of engagement algorithms and actively try to counter echo chambers by injecting moderate content into news feeds.
