Maybe.
So what?
Humans are wired to form small communities. That was the world before the internet.
Now everyone is connected on these massive platforms and people are miserable.
Maybe that older model was the right one after all, and the trade-off--less contact between those communities--is worth it, so long as people can freely associate with whichever communities they choose.

I didn't say whether I thought it was a good or bad thing, I just wanted to point out that there is more nuance than appears at first glance. I'm not advocating for blind "in-group good, out-group bad" policies, nor for the reverse of "new thing good, old thing bad".
