Will the Fediverse create an even bigger gap between political views?

As the title suggests, now that more people are moving from Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and whatnot towards platforms on Fediverse and Bluesky, will that not create an even bigger split between political views? Most people who are not afraid of big tech and its influence will probably stay there.

We were already not always able to communicate and discuss certain topics as normal human beings, but now we probably won't even see each other's posts.

What do you think?

Everything is better than algorithms that favour polarization imo
- Yeah I wholeheartedly agree on that, and I am very happy that there are alternatives like this getting more traction.
  
  it is getting traction, but people are coalescing one very few fediverse platforms instead of spreading themselves out evenly and that's effectively re-creating the kind centralization that empowered the enshitification that reddit, twitter, facebook, and (eventually) bluesky experience.
