In the last few years, we have witnessed changes in democratic processes and institutional communication, apart from the radicalisation of public debates and campaigns (pro-Brexit/no Brexit, pro-vax/no vax, pro-green pass/no green pass, among others), nationalism, (right-wing) populism, and hate speech in the digital sphere. In order to fight against this “toxic environment” (Murthy/Sharma 2018: 192) and foster ways of democratic dialogues, it is fundamental to question the legitimacy of dichotomy-based ways of debates, promote environments that can stimulate productive online and offline interpersonal interactions, and encourage the development of new emerging hybrid dialogues.
