Yeah, it's a total fantasy that most people want to hear from the other side. They're loyal to their tribe and hate anything and everything having to do with the other one. It causes them anger just to see it, it's like flashing the rival's gang sign or flying an enemy flag. It's a psychological identity thing.
This is important for community admins to understand. This is not a dialogue problem. People are given a tribe to belong to or oppose, and these affiliations are used by strategists and propagandists to affect popular anger/resentment.
That means that users don't want to see a balanced feed. They want to see things that make them feel good things, and not bad things. And the other side is "bad things".
