You're viewing part of a thread.
As if surrounding yourself in an echo chamber of sycophants is the better solution. It sure works well for MAGA folks.

Great analogy but how does that even remotely apply to this scenario where you replied to someone else's comment and then didn't like the response followed by someone telling you to just block people when they aren't part of your in-group of folks who think exactly like you?
This is social media not a dinner party and this is exactly how people wind up in social media echo chambers.

Seems pretty sleazy if you're the one instigating the challenge and then running away by blocking someone if they respond to you. Furthermore, you created an entire strawman argument with your initial reply as if the Democratic party is filled with a bunch of saints that are above reproach. This is exactly what MAGA supporters do when people criticize Trump which is why I bring up sycophants and echo chambers because that's exactly how those people wound up in the state they're in.

I'm with Shepard on this one, even if he's being a jerk about it.
Lemmy is a filter bubble, an echo chamber. You miss information that would be personally important to you, but is excluded because it doesn't fit with the US Democrat party line, and the very specific part of it Lemmy's politically active base likes.
Like, I'm a raging Trump hater, but I'm kind of aghast at how many knee jerk reactions (like, to me, your original reply) I get when I imply something vaguely critical about the Democrats.

Demonizing spaces for like minded people to congregate doesn’t solve that.
If this is a polite way of saying "go somewhere else to lightly criticize democrats," I don't accept that. I can at least hope Lemmy can do better, and try to change it.
Of course having a good information diet is critical. But that's besides the point? I don't think this thread would be a thing if all our information diets were great.
