I’m curious as to why this was downvoted.
Is it because they disagreed with some of the opinions? I was under the impression that’s not what down voting was for here.
Personally I think it is worth considering a social media platform, once it reaches a certain scale and depending on how content is distributed, as a “public square” or at least more towards a “public square” on the continuum between a private community and a large scale public one.
Your Undivided Attention has an episode which touches on this: https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/27-wont-you-be-my-neighbor-a-civic-vision-for-the-internet https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/27-wont-you-be-my-neighbo.... The rest of their series has some interesting perspectives as well.

- shkkmo 5y agoCompaining about downvotes or the reasons behind downvotes is a reliable way to attract downvotes. The is expressly mentioned in the site guidlines: > Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
