This is called uncommon ground because people coming in expect they’ll be very polarized around private education, around marijuana, around many polarizing topics, but actually, they managed to agree with their neighbors on more than 80% of the ideas. After that, it really depolarized and deescalated. The trick here is that we give the “bridging bonus”: the more distance some ideas can bridge people with differences, the more virality it receives. Completely different from Facebook or X.com. Am I making sense?
