The exodus definitely showcased who can exist in a society among people they support as well as people they object to and people who need to be in a selective group to be comfortable. Interesting stuff.
There's a difference between "exists in a society with people they object to" and "wants to have people who are actively hostile to their existence constantly shoved into their timeline and conversations by an algorithm designed to keep you glued to Twitter for as long as possible, regardless of what it does to your mood and mental health".
No. Because Twitter and other online spaces are not society. They’re a bizarro world version of that. Case in point: nearly everyone is 5 clicks more obnoxious on Twitter than in real life. Confrontations happen that wouldn’t otherwise.
Not to say that I disagree with you in principle but I'd think there is a large difference between disagreeing with someone's opinions and disagreeing with someones values. You generally can't have a meaningful conversation in the latter case.
