    The “marketplace of ideas”

    We had that. It was called internet and your communities were mailing lists and webrings

    Hello, I would like to “subscribe” to all my “#follows” on one single website.

    They have played us for absolute fools.

    /meme

    But yeah I agree. Although personally I think you get all that “real ideas” virtually for free if the purpose of the platform is the community, rather than attracting enough users to monetize.

    I had a similar experience, but unfortunately I did see enough trolling in the gaming communities to convince me to leave. I thought sticking to the indie scene would be enough to avoid it, but the casual misogyny somehow kept getting in my feed. People in the scene would become trollmouths through their exposure, I guess.
