I am not sure what I did with my filter bubble. Did I make it stronger or weaker, larger or smaller?
The polarisation on twitter and Facebook after Brexit and the two years before and after the US election saw the losing tribe write off the other half as evil, selfish, needing to be re-educated, that democracy was over and a strong left hand was needed and that the free press needed regulation.
These were views by some of you, CTO level educated SV technologists.
I pointed out that the opposition wasn't evil, democracy was still valid, and mainly i pointed out how they were blinkered. Some people took it personally. Now they are not in my filter bubble. Worth saying that the winning tribalism was not in my filter bubble at any point.
My bubble has less tribalism than before but it's also less large.
