Like in real life, where you select friends and acquaintances, and do things that are interesting to you, and don't tolerate trolls in your physical life. I mean, that can actually foster higher quality debate and discussion. Like in a political discussion page, you would expect that users debate in good faith, and kick those who don't. Facebook and Twitter seem to just devolve. Hacker news is also largely the same with downvoting and significant moderation... And as a result it has higher quality discussion. Being open minded and thoughtful does not mean listening to just anyone... For me it's analogous to walking away from someone objectionable. If it was censorship they wouldn't be allowed to say it. But they still can, at least somewhere in the fediverse. Just not necessarily to me.
