I completely agree with many of your observations. It's truly impressive how public discourse has changed over the years, especially with the advent of social media and technology.

Also there is a tendency to stop at headlines and not explore the full content of news is also a widespread problem, leading to a superficial understanding of the issues.

It's frustrating to see how easily social media can spread partial or even false information, fueling divisions and conflicts rather than constructive dialogue.

Not to mention the power of virtual distance, turning people into psychopaths who bully others, pushing people to behave in ways they would never do in person.

I also find Stacker.news to be a breath of fresh air where a more in-depth, responsible, and respectful debate is possible for everyone.
