I think more 'tight knight', private social media spaces are the future here.

You can see this in how a lot of young people prefer stuff like Discord over Twitter and Facebook, and how (in some spaces), Fediverse communities and even traditional forum like ones are taking off again.

As for why this is the case... well, I think a few reasons are key here:

1. People realised that having everyone in the same is a bad idea. People don't all get along with each other, and putting those with opposing values together like on Twitter leads to fights and flame wars. So they want communities of people they share something in common with.

2. Publicly posted content is easier to take out of context, both by their political opponents and the media.
