Meh. I’d rather they have their meeting places out in the light like this than hidden away in the dark web or something.
Just block, defed, move on. No need to feed their narrative of being the last bulwark against the bad guys by dogpiling them. People are allowed to be wrong and you won’t change their minds by storming in all righteous at them anyway. That will just entrench them more.
If you truly want to turn them, there’s plenty of studies and research done on how to actually influence people and change minds. Some of it is even in leaked classified intelligence agency field guides, which is a fun way to end up on a list!
Also, I think it’s a good thing that I sometimes wonder that maybe I’m in the echo chamber. Maybe my mental health is fucked up because I surround myself with angry liberals. I feel like it’s almost good to read differing opinions.
I never end up agreeing with them so I guess that’s good but questioning yourself is probably good.
There’s no echo chamber when you’re surrounding yourself with people that don’t want to kill and harass others for simply being themselves. You’re not in one.
Fascists on the other hand, are certainly in an echo chamber.
You are literally saying “I’m not in an echo chamber, the people that disagree with me are.” I think it’s good to question yourself once in a while.
maybe I’m in the echo chamber
I always try to have that in mind when I talk to my SO. I usually say “I’ve read X and lemmy but lemmy is VERY left bla bla”. Not to invalidate what I read here, but to be mindful of my sources.
Lemmy isn’t very left. It’s just normal people that dislike fascists.

Everyone Probably Sometimes Thinks Everything Is Nothing. Like I Shouldn’t Think.
