Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber

This is true but I ultimately don’t care.

Is there any social media site that isn’t an echo chamber? They’re designed this way on purpose in most cases.

There are enough forums catering to idiots. I appreciate the better moderation, tech savviness, and lack of tolerance for right wing BS on Lemmy.

  Link me to your wonderful social media utopia that isn’t an echo chamber.
  
  Facebook - Echo chamber, actively managed to make you be the most pissed off and spend the most time on it as possible and click on customized ads
  
  Instagram - Echo chamber, specifically tuned to make you feel jealous of others and buy shit covered in the ads
  
  Nextdoor - Basically Facebook but with a “locals only” theme
  
  LinkedIn - An echo chamber tuned for people who nod ferociously to everything the CEO says in the “all-hands” meeting
  
  Threads - Echo chamber, tuned toward people to click on ads just like other Meta properties
  
  YouTube - Practically a right-wing echo chamber, you can watch a video about cute puppies and with no watch history turned on you’ll be on Infowars-like content within 2 degrees of Kevin Bacon (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon)
  
  Twitter (I’ll continue to have this as my only deadname) - A right-wing echo chamber full of bots including “MechaHitler”
  
  Bluesky - An echo chamber similar to Twitter before it was musked up
  
  Mastodon - A left-wing echo chamber (similarly to Lemmy it’s decentralized, and similarly to Lemmy it is somewhat moderated in a way that rids you of most right-wing / hitler-focused media)
  
  Truth social - I mean, obviously a right-wing echo chamber
  
  Reddit - An algorithmically tweaked astroturf echo chamber full of bots and serving up a daily AI training ground that gets more right-wing as time passes
  
  Hacker news - A libertarian-leaning tech-literate echo chamber
  
  Shall I go on?
  
  I have an RSS reader too. People like yourself act like because you’re tolerant of some junk food in your diet that that is all you eat.

Me too. Personally I’ve had experiences where I’ll say “I filtered x instances because I don’t like them” and had people complain that I’m creating an echo chamber (for just myself I guess?). I wanted to poke fun at those people by saying Lemmy is already a tech literate echo chamber.
