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.
