Yeah, that's how you create echo-chambers where people truly believe vaccines cause autism, immigrants commit the most crimes, etc.

When these people are inevitably showing at ballot, other people will call for more moderation. So no, this doesn't solve "moderation."



But is being exposed to broader viewpoints or even being shown "correct" posts more often something that users of social media actually want?

Social media is often seen as a public opinion manipulation machine, but I hope building another one of those is not the goal.
