I think this is an excellent message and I thank you for sharing it. Daryl Davis is a wonderful and wholesome example of the "getting alongside" school of influence. He is a black man who convinced many KKK members to give up their robes.

I heard a very interesting podcast with Davis recently. He's an advisor to Minds, one of the (many) alternative social networks that eschew moderation. While their initial user base was disportionately far-right, Minds has some very good ideas about how to push people into cross-cutting conversations, like I'm writing about here. I'm not sure it will work, but I suspect (hope?) some of the ideas that Davis put into the project become the foundation of some future online platforms.
