It looks like the Internet is now being compartmentalized based on one's political affiliation and groups.

X is turning out to be where Conservatives are going to be living, Bluesky, Reddit and Treads will be for Liberals. These platform don't outright ban opposing views but I think moderation policies and the users will shift these groups into one or the other.

I'm not sure if one can have a platform where respectful discourse can take place. The only site I've seen so far is HN and its due to its small community and the relentless effort by Dan.

The days of having everyone connected on the same platform is now dead, which might ironically usher a revival of the old, non-centralized web.

Promise of bluesky is that different front ends can have different moderation policies, and you have account portability should you be prevented from interacting with bsky.app (provided you were self hosting your pod. I don't actually know if you can export your data if you are "banned" from the main instance, I'll have to look into that)

Honestly, I'd get the F off twitter, because it's now in control of a state actor.

Any barriers, legal or otherwise, that existed between twitter and the state should be assumed gone once the new administration transitions in, especially considering it's an administration that has promised to abuse state power to target it's opposition.
