Creating an echo chamber where you assume any criticism of members of a certain political faction are motivated by bigotry and are seeking to troll and deceive, and block the critics accordingly, is going to leave you woefully under-informed.

- hnbear 4y agoAs original poster I meant more that if you know somewhere like 4Chan is generally a highly negative place, I'd stay away from it, and in bulk (ie, the whole site), cut off that source of noise. Really applies to somewhere like Facebook too. I didn't mean to cut off discussion or specific sides in a view point, but more to cut off sources of low-quality discussion. I do realize there's danger in how you categorize low quality too.
