I know, I get it. Echo chambers are bad m’kay?
But hear me out. Most of the interactions I had on there were essentially me fighting against the news for about 11 years. Most of the people I argued with were reactionary and repeated everything on TV. It was frustrating and it was awful.
I gained little insight into what was going on by interacting with them, and in retrospect, I could’ve been no better off here. And honestly, I feel less on edge about current affairs being around people who get it. I’m one degree removed from crazy.
I’m glad there are spaces on the web where I can get away from all of that nonsense. So, I guess, in a sense, thank you for being here.
Yup, on Lemmy I often hear substantiated points that I hadn’t considered. I’ve gone into rabbit holes because someone linked to an analysis about a conflict, I’ve gained terminology I didn’t know that I didn’t know, found the reason why some events may be happening, like with Trumplethinskin’s enigmatic inner machinations of his mind, and so many other little things. It’s kinda nice.
