Something I worry about: is how any position that is not extreme will get invariably get “primaried” by those with more extreme positions in any online debate. 

They will attract more energy , easier to get social capital and also plays well to most online algorithms. 

Having the center get and hold energy seems an unsolved problem.

I think killing the algorithm fixes this but no one likes that idea

the “on Twitter you have to treat them like real, serious ideas” is delusional

no, you don’t have to LOL

no one is forcing anyone to treat them like real, serious ideas

This attached on a  tweet where someone got brigades for not treating a stupid idea seriously 

Ofc you don’t, but ur offering urself up for the thunderdome to loudly be moderate in this env. Why centrism gets drowned out

true i think more people need to embrace the thunderdome

also agree with you that algorithm changes and a move away from vanity metrics would help
