“I’m personally sympathetic to those who prefer social media ‘silos’ curated to their own tastes. Most of us live that way in meatspace — like me, you’ve probably never invited David Duke over for dinner or signed up for a Nazi bar pub crawl — and extending that to a ‘there ain’t enough room on this platform for both of us’ philosophy doesn’t strike me as strange or inherently wrong. On the other hand, nearly every social media platform allows considerable self-siloing, so there really IS enough room on those platforms for various people and groups who don’t care to talk to each other. Follow the users you like, ignore or even block the users you don’t like. ‘Problem’ solved.” (11/17/24)
