Hope they enjoy their echo chamber.
- collyw 6y agoYou think that Trump being silenced is less of an echo chamber?
- acgh213 6y agoBwahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahahahahahahhahaah Edit: No, Fuck Off
- scrollaway 6y agoYou're talking about the current president of the united states as if he's some unknown whistleblower. "silenced". He's getting fact checked.
- Robin_Message 6y agoIndeed. If he has silenced, we wouldn't be hearing about it, would we? And even "fact checked" is somewhere between Orwellian and jargon. He is being asked to provide evidence for the truth of his claims; and other alternative evidence is being presented alongside what he claims. I would call it "reporting". (And the claims are nuts. On the radio in the UK, one of his lawyers claimed to have 9000 affidavits from NV voters who said they had turned up to vote in person but a mail-in ballot had been done in their name. 9000! Yet not a single one has been provided to give an interview. I would be worried if 9 people had made such a statement, never mind 9000.)
- mcphage 6y agoWhat does “silenced” mean to you?
- collyw 6y agoTwitter is covering up many of his tweets, saying that they are debatable, you can't just scroll down his feed and see what has been said, you need to click on each one by one, click back again to see what he has said, hindering the user experience massively. Meanwhile the flat earth society doesn't have any of it's tweets disputed.
- mcphage 6y ago> you can't just scroll down his feed and see what has been said, you need to click on each one by one, click back again to see what he has said, hindering the user experience massively So silenced means "you need to click a few more times to see what he said". What if they added another click—would you call that "super silenced", or something else? > Meanwhile the flat earth society doesn't have any of it's tweets disputed. Well, at least you have an idea of his peer group in bullshittery.
- kgraves 6y agoHow do you know that this social network is an echo chamber?
- ceejayoz 6y agoTheir retweet option is rather hilariously called the echo button. I’m not sure if it’s self-aware or not.
- technoplato 6y agoNot stating an opinion either way to the platform or it’s constituents but naming the result of rebroadcasting a message to ones followers has no effect whatsoever on its effect. A retweet, share, and apparently an echo are all semantically close enough to be called identical functionality, save for perhaps upstream metadata associated with the source. eg on Facebook I don’t know if, once you share a post, the total share count is displayed on the post itself. However on Twitter this share count is shown. They’re all the same sheep with isomorphically identical data just dressed up in different pairs of clothes.
- throwaway3699 6y agoIsn't that a good thing? People need to become aware about how retweets do turn Twitter into an echochamber.
- ceejayoz 6y agoIt's a good thing if the irony is recognized. I'm not sure it will be, though.
- eznzt 6y agoWhat's Twitter then? Or every social network.
- RikNieu 6y agoTo be fair, all social networks are echo chambers anyway, since you choose your chamber by who you follow.
