Yes, if there's one thing the fediverse is good at, it's preventing splitting lmao.
What do you mean? Sure with Nazis and Tankies I'm okay to split with permanentaly, but other instances its a dynamic, always changing process. This is much more what societal debate looks like than on Twitter/Threads currently.
In the Fediverse, finding together is encouraged because it increases your user base. On Twitter, fight means more money for the owner, so fights and splits are encouraged there.
So yes, Fediverse is better at simulating societal debate. My article was never about preventing splitting in the Fediverse COMPLETELY (this will and should never happen), its about preventing a split of democratic forces into tribes that fight each other and don't manage to unite and that are in constant fight like on Twitter/Threads.
