Everyone here discuss a new online newspaper. It would be refreshing to get intelligent content for free and not hidden between an amrmada of paywalls but would not be not enough.
At this point, to protect democracy and its values, full fledged state sponsored reverse troll farms are what we desperatly need.
A lot of the engagement is simply led by fake accounts piloted by humans and thus realistic enough to break the organic engagement detection model.
Creating positive content is not enough to win this war. Only using the same dirty tactics as the autocrats will allow democracy to survive.

I believe there is a huge space of ideas that are clearly worth defending at all cost without ever being partisan. I understand your metaphor but I think it's closer to the paradox of intolerance, you generally escape it only by having to be intolerant to the most intolerant.
