It's not that I want an echo chamber of my own beliefs. Twitter has been plenty challenging for years without an issue.
I just want to post and interact with people without getting bombarded with wishes about my death for posting that I biked to work. There is no discourse there anymore, only loads of hate.
Painting people that leave as people that enjoy echo chambers is just dishonest.
- Sol2Sol 2y agoThis. I don't use twitter for political discourse and since new guy took charge and made his political inclinations clear I'm being bombarded with political content and "news"/"hot takes" that skew a certain way. If wanting to use the tool for topics that are of interest to me, is me being in an echo chamber, then so be it.
- timmg 2y ago> There is no discourse there anymore, only loads of hate. I guess we just follow different people.
- matsemann 2y agoThat's an easy way to dismiss all concerns, and backhanded also blame the ones complaining for "holding it wrong". It's not about who I follow. It's about the replies I get when I participate in discussions around my interests.
- timmg 2y agoAll I’m saying is, “There is no discourse there anymore, only loads of hate,” doesn’t reflect my experience. Apologies if I offended you.
- hitekker 2y agoI think GP made a pretty neutral comment, and you interpreted it rather poorly. It's a bit of an overreaction which, ironically enough, is the kind of engagement Twitter thrives on.
- thowawatp302 2y agoThat doesn’t make sense with the given scenario. It’s followers that have visibility int your posts, not people you’re following
