As I stated above, this doesn't work anymore because those environments are highly controlled. If you want to red-pill people forget about en mass and forget about those environments. Get them here (or into a more potent echo-chamber), one at a time and it will be easier to bring them to crisis where they have no where to run for dopamine.
This is putting the cart before the horse IMO. Someone who isn't redpilled won't enjoy Poal at all, so they won't stay on the site. And if there is zero presence on outside platforms, people won't even hear about Poal.
You do make good points about dopamine, and it's always a good thing to promote more people to go on dopamine detox. But they will never get the idea to do that without reaching out to where they are now.
It's time to start moving offline. We should still use platforms like this to create, share and aggregate content that will be useful in redpilling people we know irl.
I think there should be a presence both online and IRL, but everyone should have family, friends, and be involved in their community. If you aren't well-adjusted and successful IRL, you're doing yourself a disservice by participating online.
I agree that platforms like this could be better used though. News articles are okay, but they aren't really relevant to most people unless you can either share them on other platforms or with people you know.
I do email links to articles and videos I see here to people I know.
Just created for gathering the best shareable content and discussing redpilling methodology.

I can understand what you mean in a way, but what I mean is reddit it highly censored and pushing a new idea there is like a drop in the river. Things are more potent on Voat and Poal. I found Voat, Poal and Saidit when I started myself looking for reddit alternatives. I think it was about a week until I was JQ pilled. I was never going to get red-pilled on Reddit.

This is another thing about myself getting red-pilled. I was away from the smartphone for about a year. I was reading a bunch of books on cognitive biases and was able to see things around me weren't adding up and saw a study on how smartphones are mesmerizing kids.
I think the whole paradigm shift idea (like a red pill) needs to be a procured process. For me, I red-pilled myself mostly. But the others around me that have become aware of new things got personally procured doses of information via engagement. They would have never figured a lot of it out or known the right questions to ask on their own. I think I was just lucky.
