I remember being a part of a very early forum called "Plastic" in the mid 2000's and, believe me, there was PLENTY of polarization/toxicity there, so I'm not really buying that this is a new thing.

I remember being VERY active in that forum, but eventually I quit and sent an email to the owner ( I know I know ), his name was Carl I think?...saying that I could no longer deal with the absolute political polarization (anti-Libertarian) I found on the site.

So yes...you "fix" it by being the change you want to see. There is really nothing else one can do.
