There is certainly truth to this, but surely there is some middle ground where I don't need to invite constant commentary about pop culture and events I don't have control over.
I could delete twitter, but that's essentially like blocking everyone on it.
I do agree though. I don't want to be in an echo chamber where only opinions I like are validated, that's bad for me even if I like it.
Maybe this is untrue, but surely there is a difference between blocking all opinions you don't like vs not wanting to see any opinions at all because it affects your mood and mental health.
- chrischen 5y agoBlanket sweeping blocks is exactly the opposite of a middle ground.
- 3a2d29 5y agoMight be misunderstanding you, but a middle ground is any compromise. Rather than choose an echo chamber, I'll chose to have no opinions instead. That way I am not having only my opinions validated, I am not allowing any influence at all.
- chrischen 5y agoThat would be like not consuming any social media at all, not just a tool to help create your own echo chamber.
- vlunkr 5y ago> I could delete twitter, but that's essentially like blocking everyone on it. Yeah, it's great. Twitter has nothing to do with reality, it's a shared delusion between a bunch of people that hate each other. You won't miss a thing.
