Exposure to other viewpoints is good yes, but is it good when that exposure only ever gets you insults hurled your way from the people you’re trying to have a discussion with?

exactly. everywhere irl all i see is people debating my existence. i just want one place where i don't have to think about that. x.x

Nope, definitely not - which is why I’m not a free speech absolutist. Let those instances sit on an island by themselves.

Is exposure to other viewpoints good when those viewpoints are half-baked straw man hot-takes that the users are just parroting because they heard their favorite YouTuber say it?

I don’t need to be exposed to yet another dipshit who insists the holodomor never happened. That’s not me avoiding other viewpoints, that’s me avoiding fucking morons.
