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.

I never end up agreeing with them so I guess that’s good but questioning yourself is probably good.

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.

Ah, a false appeal to a majority.
Yes, sometimes that majority can be wrong. If I don’t call for people to die horribly simply because they’re not allowed to abort, which would save their life, does it make me the problem? Or what with people who shout people should be murdered because they’re Jewish/Muslim/atheist whatever?
No, the problem lies with the oligarchs fueling that hatred.

You’re blocking me because I think you should question your opinion now and again?

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.
