Before social media, I thought the Internet would tend to strengthen the position of non-conformism vs conformism. My sense now: despite the good of more total voices getting aired, tolerance for difference may have declined, from teens on insta to adults in professions. — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting. I do think social media facilitated a shift from spaces where people engaged in conversation and debate as ends in themselves to spaces where people performed those modes to advance other ends (and also became paranoid that *everyone* was performing). — PolitiTweet.org
