Since Trump, I’m finding the Lemmy.world experience to be increasingly akin to an echo chamber and it’s quite frankly starting to bore me. (Inb4, I’m a left winger and I don’t like Trump, but I’m much more interested in a good spirited debate or novel points of view than I am in Orange man bad Nazi circle jerks)
If I wanted the same repetitive comments to be upvoted and any different opinion at all to be downvoted and even blocked/banned, I’d have just stayed on Reddit.
Are there any instances where different, opposing and novel points of view are celebrated and debated rather than simply derided and downvoted?
Don’t know what you’re saying about Dessalines.
As for “echo chambers,” they don’t exist devoid of context. An “echo chamber” mirroring the positions of the status quo upholds it, while one going against the grain disrupts the status quo. They aren’t equally “echo-y.”
Good on you for starting Blackshirts and Reds, good luck on your exams!
I’m saying bro is not all that.
They may not be equally echoey but they’re still quite echoey and often deafeningly so.
Thanks!
