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.
also echo chambers arise due to algorithms controlled by people who very specifically want you to end up in an echo chamber pushing horrible opinions, worrying about ending up in a left-wing echo chamber is like worrying about ending up in a room filled with friendly dogs, oh no the horrors…
