The part about the filter bubble being the opposite way around is interesting. But it does intuitively make sense, because we do build our RL-society-circles as a filter bubble, so the online one stresses us because it is not that.

I kind of get what they are coming from, but I don’t fully agree with their take of being more exposed to other views on the internet. At least not as a general rule.
There are loads of people who (understandably) will block any and all opposing views from their feeds, making the remaining stuff only things they agree with

And even if they don’t do that they’ll join only communities where the bias is already there.

yeah there were the same problems with small scale social experiences forever. just look at the concept of small, or remote, towns being hostile to outsiders, being havens for fringe ideas/identities to take over, places that don’t allow certain people after sundown.
