The bubble-ization I see today is less "I am intolerant of your alternative subjective views! The Beatles are totally better than the Rolling Stones!" and are more often a struggle of information vs. willful disinformation. So many of today's "bubbles" don't even involve subjective ideas; they involve willful distortions of facts such as anti-vaccine propaganda, flat Earth theories, and the like. how VR Chat is much more like the earlier internet [...] a much healthier environment where people are exposed to and more understanding of those outside of what would otherwise be their bubble I miss those early days, but I think the notion of the internet as a more tolerant place back then is mostly an illusion. The internet population itself was kind of... a single bubble back then. It was way less diverse than the general population. Early internet discourse was dominated by tech-savvy folks at universities, and folks working in the tech/engineering sectors. Therefore users tended to be male, white, college educated, young, technologically savvy, and economically upper/middle class. We were less likely to see the walls between bubbles because we were in a single bubble.
