> get rid of echo chambers and highlighting posts from people with different viewpoints
Sounds good in an internet comment, but in practice that means I end up reading racist propaganda, which is not something that improves my life. So then you eliminate the crap, and boom, you have an echo chamber.
- tinus_hn 4y agoNo. It’s the echo chamber that leads you to believe all content that disagrees with the echo chamber is crap.
- notduncansmith 4y agoPeople are capable of deciding content is crap on their own, without an echo chamber leading them to that belief. I’ve looked at the facts, analyzed a lot of situations, and have come to the independent conclusion that bigotry is pretty unhelpful so I don’t want to see it (online or anywhere). I don’t have a responsibility to engage with it online, so I frequent online spaces that have a minimum of it.
