This may be an #unpopularopinion however Twitter/X seems to be one side of an extreme, and then the generalized community among Mastodon appears to promote the opposing extreme. As long as the platforms are divided there can be no actual productive civil discourse on the matters at hand that divide us as a people. A truly non-bias approach where questions are asked and answers provided without the casting judgement is what is necessary to promote unity among the people of our society. The division between platforms is only mere representation of the actual division among our people. Maybe the solution is to promote and advocate federation among all social platforms and work towards a common goal. To set aside differences and try to understand. In the words of the late great Ozzy "Learn how to love, and forget how to hate".
