&gt; I loathe the day where such apps isolate people from thought they do not like on a wholesale business. Can you imagine a world of safe spaces and such where you never have to be challenged?<p>The expression &quot;safe place&quot; doesn&#x27;t mean what you think it means. I think it has more to do with imposing the absence of debate on others than one isolating oneself from challenging views. The latter is perfectly acceptable, not the former.<p>People pushing for &quot;safe places&quot; actually want the rest of us to stop debating , having &quot;problematic&quot;, potentially &quot;offensive&quot; views, i.e. any view they don&#x27;t agree with. They don&#x27;t want a separate physical &quot;safe space&quot;, they want the concept of &quot;safe places&quot; everywhere. So it is not about isolation but rather suppressing debate in any free,open or public place.<p>You know when one hears &quot;safe place&quot; one thinks &quot;good, off course people want to feel safe&quot; , but it&#x27;s not really about physical safety or even respect, but rather a mental prison where any dissident opinion, even expressed respectfully, is banned because it doesn&#x27;t fit one specific narrative.<p>I&#x27;m sure that expression was chosen on purpose, it&#x27;s so misleading and I felt into that trap too , at first.
