Those people came to those views somehow. I'd hope that a less radicalizing social media platform might move them away from those views. Finding common ground isn't just about figuring out where people currently agree, it's also an act of persuasion convincing people to change views to then-mutually shared views.
Wanting people dead or imprisoned simply for existing is the sort of inconsistent view that is likely easiest to change by moving people out of radicalized spaces...

I just don't see how polis would do this. As far as I can tell this is largely about asking a questionnaire and then a polity can view the different responses and try to find legislation that's acceptable to the largest group of people.
There are some people you can reason with but if someone has priors they aren't willing to examine there's not much you can do. I don't think we could workshop our way to civil rights.
And while trying to find common ground may be hard, and it may even be a long shot, it's worth it considering the eventual alternatives.
Radicalized spaces are offline too. You can't cure anyone of being irrational while they still live in a cult.
So just throw away this solution then? Never use it because it can’t solve this one tiny issue you’re putting forward as an argument?
What’s your point? Everything you’re saying on this thread seems negative and puts the product (Polis) into a negative light as if somehow it’s trying to do more harm than good, or can never work because <insert extremely small issue here compared to the task of country-wide governance of millions of people>.
Well, Polis is lazy, to start
People leave cults all the time - sometimes directly because of the online information environment where they find space to think thoughts against the cult's party line...
