Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

To be honest, I was hoping for a little more engagement with the fact that the polarization (or, dare I say, radicalization) under discussion seems inherent to online spaces of any sort, and decentralized spaces aren't immune to it.
I agree that "run by people who care" is important, but I'm not sure it's the answer in and of itself.
I'm also don't think that a certain degree of polarization is inherently a bad thing. But I think it deserves more examination that a simple dismissal as something other platforms have to reckon with.
