social media as a whole is the modern public square, and there aren't many options and they are all pretty much lock-step ideologically.

Twitter/facebook are fighting wars with themselves and pretending they are fighting others. It's their f***ed up algorithm that promotes everything that is crazy and sensational.

Okay, but what should be done about it? "The Free Market" isn't punishing Twitter/Facebook/etc. for banning people, so what mechanism would you suggest?

Tweak that a promote by intellectual and critical thinking rigor over "engagement" and none of these people would be a problem.

So I can explain an algorithm that rewards "engagement". How do you make an algorithm to reward intellectual/critical thinking?
