Truth is not an echo chamber, accepting other people who aren't hurting anyone just by existing isn't an echo chamber, kindness isn't an echo chamber.
I don't need to consider "alternate beliefs" that are just lies. There's this idea that if I'm not constantly reading stuff by straight up Nazis, that I won't understand that they are Nazis. Not having to read nonsense as possible facts is one of the really cool things about having critical thinking skills.
The idea that Mastodon is an echo chamber is crazy anyway. I am more informed here than I ever was on Twitter. People rarely just state opinions, they back them up, and as a frequent poster, I promise you that if you do post something without a link to back it up, someone will ask for one.
@RickiTarr Exactly. Mastodon is not designed to be an echo chamber. It might function like one if someone doesn't take part in actively curating their own feed. Follow two people they know from Muskville, and that's it...
I'd say echo chambers tend to have algorithms.
@xinit @RickiTarr I don’t accept the idea of echo chamber really. I used to have parties at my house as a young person. It’s not an echo chamber to invite people I like and enjoy talking to, and NOT to invite people I don’t like and don’t like talking to. I’m allowed to pick my friends and companions. I don’t owe the world to have asshole representation in my feeds!
