Just so I'm getting this straight,
Being in control of your feed = "echo chambering yourself".
Looking at everything = "very angry people flooding the platform with their negativity and extremist views".
You do you.
No. you're not getting it straight.
your interpreting my comment into a false dichotomy.
people here are simply pissed that i'm acknowledging the existence of a userbase that is problematic. that userbase would be here regardless of my blocking them or not. because of them, they dont' exist because of their own highly curated experience and self-selection into an echo chamber communities.
and this is because... those echo chamber users are the very same people.
they are practicing three monkeys philosophy, if they pretend to not see it, it doesn't exist. if someone tells them it exists, then that person is the evil person. if someone points it how and shows it to them, they block that person because they can't acknowledge it's existence or the existence of anyone who would acknowledge it.
