And for this reason I believe social media is fundamentally harmful to society.
- lambic 4y agoI think this might be partly a generational thing. My son and my younger friends follow a wider variety of people and aren't so easily sucked into the echo chambers. The networks are also partly to blame with their recommendation systems.

- mikkergp 4y agoSay more about this, I’ve sort of come to the opposite conclusion, especially in social media. Generally speaking, the _way_ people express their views in social media has distancing effect for me. In real life? With people talking about their life stories, sure, I may learn more about people and open my mind, but I think better echo chambers in “hot take” spaces online would open my mind and make me more tolerant of opposing views.
