I hope Facebook keeps going further and further in the direction of echo chambers, to the point that people stop seeing it as a source of news or anything but a very slanted view of the world.
Ideally we could have a forum that actually encourages free speech (including anonymous and pseudonymous speech, extremely rude but not outright threatening speech, and paid shills). If we can't have that, many platforms each with their own agenda is much better than one dominant platform with a bias towards one side of the political spectrum.
- TylerE 8y agoSuch forums always seem to end up a hive of racism and (((jew bashing))). (See: Voat)
- superkuh 8y agoPart of the reason this happens is people say things like that and don't chose to be the change they want to see in the world. Voat had plenty of friendly, decent spaces run by decent people (and plenty of horrible ones). The difference is that it allowed everything. It was just a place to talk. Not a place that decided what could be talked about. That said, if you're the type of person that cannot stand to see people saying things that you find distasteful then yeah, you better stick to Facebook.
