Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say
Pika@sh.itjust.works 2 months agoI mean this is a benefit, I’m just worried that this is going to create a echo chamber, Facebook has the same issue where people just hide post that they don’t agree with which basically makes it so the only content they see is content they agree with and it’s never positive to have only one side of an argument. That’s a big reason of why the US politics system is failing it’s too segregated between the two major parties so nothing can ever get done

By using Lemmy we’re already filtering out certain people and opinions. I personally think that the more control we have over what we see, the better. I don’t think it’s opposing views people want to filter out. It’s the ones having those views and being dicks about it.

I can agree with that, I myself am guilty of blocking people who are hostile with their ideologies, I do believe that would be handy. But I know there is definitely people who are just going to block every person that has to do with their ideology, and giving them the ability to see the downvotes see who disagrees with their ideology I don’t think it is healthy/should be promoted
