Those people came to those views somehow. I'd hope that a less radicalizing social media platform might move them away from those views. Finding common ground isn't just about figuring out where people currently agree, it's also an act of persuasion convincing people to change views to then-mutually shared views.
replyWanting people dead or imprisoned simply for existing is the sort of inconsistent view that is likely easiest to change by moving people out of radicalized spaces...
And while trying to find common ground may be hard, and it may even be a long shot, it's worth it considering the eventual alternatives.
replyRadicalized spaces are offline too. You can't cure anyone of being irrational while they still live in a cult.
replySo just throw away this solution then? Never use it because it can’t solve this one tiny issue you’re putting forward as an argument?
replyWhat’s your point? Everything you’re saying on this thread seems negative and puts the product (Polis) into a negative light as if somehow it’s trying to do more harm than good, or can never work because <insert extremely small issue here compared to the task of country-wide governance of millions of people>.
People leave cults all the time - sometimes directly because of the online information environment where they find space to think thoughts against the cult's party line...
replyEvery Body Corporate Strata in Australia basically goes through something like this at least once a year (by law.) Questions are posed about what to vote on and you either vote for, against, or abstain.
replySomething like Polis would be good for putting forward ideas throughout the year leading up to the vote, as it would find a consensus of ideas and help shape what you eventually vote on (you decide as a body corporate.)
Some Strata are hundreds of people in size.
Are you referencing a body corporate vote on trans rights or something?
replyHundreds of people is a village. I don't feel this is responsive to GP's point.
