What may be worse is that the structural fragmentation of today’s digital media ecosystem is manufacturing a level of dissensus detrimental to the possibility of arriving at consensually agreed truths necessary to hold any society together.»
Which is why social media of the type of the #fediverse contribute to the problem rather than help solving it.
