The problem with the internet is it allows people to wall themselves off from information and people who contradict their view. Even if they're in need of said contradiction.

What you're describing is part of the problem, not the solution.

I think that's a fair point. I've seen reddit change over the years into a place where people no longer debate in the comments section, they just find the thread they agree with and comment on that. It's part of why I'm looking for somewhere else.

Can you find it though? Or, like a string of trees in a rainstorm, will it too become saturated?

I'm no longer looking for an alternative. Wishing for the good old days of dial-up BBS like Totse is useless as well. However, there's still hope this will all turn out to be a narcissism fad which will eventually give way.
