Genuine question about both this and Mastodon, since both have the same "decentralized, join/start the instance that fits your interests" fundamental principle: isn't this just exacerbating the filter-bubble effect that cranks up polarization?
Like, is it really a great thing for mending societal bridges that folks can choose between a server for leftists or a server for hard-right folks and that split ensures that one never interacts with the other? Is it really no longer possible to have conversations happen between folks that disagree, to the point that we want to ensure that there's no chance for such conversations ever to happen, even by accident?
