I do sometimes wonder how much of this is made worse by keeping competing views in walled gardens. If you look at Twitter historically they've not been great at censorship. Consequently it's easy for views you may hold abhorrent to end up in your feed, along with the typical OTT reactionary crap resulting from it being a poor medium for nuanced conversation (ie the 140 character limit). This leads to calls on the garden maintainer to censor content, which then gets out of hand, resulting in people being banned rather than content being taken out via say, downvoting. Having an open, distributed and federated approach means that it's harder to block content, but it's also harder for content you don't like to end up in your feed, and easier for you to censor it, rather than relying on a central authority to perform that task for you.
