Adding more noise does nothing to add insights it just makes it more exhausting to pick a position yourself.
If everything is nuanced then you can more easily give up on caring in a meaningful way because you believe there is no good answer.

On political topics it is very likely that we just gain a few hundred more repetitions of the same arguments that were already going in circles before.

At least here we have Fediseer to vet instances, and the ability to vet each sign-ups.
I think eventually when we’re more targeted, we’ll have to circle the wagons so to speak, and only limit communications to more carefully moderated instances that root out the bots.

I don’t think lemmy is big enough to be “next”, but this is still a valid concern.
