Cuz they don’t have enough of those… 4 Chan… 8 Chan… Parler. Truth. Facebook. NRA tv. Newsmax. Fox News. OANN. Bannon. Rogan. Shapiro. Owens. Kirk. The list goes on and on and on and on and on.
The problem is that if the community isn't fairly heavily moderated then it always devolves into the extremes. They are the loudest and they are the bullies, so the regular folks go elsewhere, or get swept up in the chaos, feeling like they are part of some counter-culture insurgency righting all the wrongs, whatever they have deluded themselves into believing those wrongs are. This is a large part of why I do not engage in any social media, really. Jazz Fanz and a few other forums are my only "social media" and the other forums are more geek-centric some with strict no-politics policies.
As a side note, I otherwise try to do the weird thing in the world today, I try to talk to real flesh and blood people. During COVID we have cut down on these interactions, but we regularly host(ed) barbecues or dinners or block parties or whatever you want to call it for people in our church, and not in our church, and from work, or from the neighborhood, and they are usually really well-received. And it is there I try to talk to people about current events, and get a different perspective. But it is NOT the norm. When I approached a guy that just moved in this last summer about coming to one of our gatherings, he was genuinely perplexed, like "you want to have us come to dinner, at your house, and we can sit around and talk", I mean it was weird. But he came and brought his fam and has come to a few more since. Probably mostly for the ribs and pulled pork, but most people enjoy the discussions because it is a lot of diverse backgrounds in a non-threatening setting and without the toxic anonymity of the cesspools of FB and Twitter.
Don't get me wrong, we don't always have these in-depth philosophical conversations and ****, mostly it is sports and what the kids are up to and how's work, but we do get into some really interesting exchanges about things like BLM and Trump and Jan 6, etc. I highly recommend it if you can pull it off in your neighborhood. Plus I find new basketball players this way for our Saturday morning games at the local park, or at least rope people into it. lol
Oh and another big benefit of this is we tend to look out for each other, like when we are away on vacation and such. My neighbor has a key to my house and I have one to his and the code to his security system.
Won't be long and that 75" OLED will be MINE!!!! bu-wah hah hah hah!!!
