Instead of building a beautiful multiverse full of diverse ideas, people are scrambling to set up safe spaces just like they've grown used to on their college campuses, meaning instances that only welcome people who affirm certain political opinions.I will be amazed if there aren't several hard fork federations before this month is over, if there aren't any already.
