  • Do most Lemmy users know that they're in an echo chamber and their actions are perpetuating that?

    Jump

  • You didn't understand what I wrote.

    denying the existence of echo chambers.

    Never did that. I even explained the main causes of them.

    The solution is not nearly as simple as blocking known ml and maga spaces.

    I never said that either. Block bad faith instances and users was part of it, but you need to not self-censor either.

    Edit: Are your strawmen bad faith or a misunderstanding? ;)

  • I think you are abusing the term echochamber here. An online community only becomes an echochamber under two circumstances:

    1. if the mods make it one. .ml counts due to the right-of-passage banhammer for saying taboo things like facts, logic, reason or calling out hypocrisy. Lemmy does not qualify because .ml is still federated despite being a dumpsterfire of bad faith.

    2. If you use the self-censorship tools to simply ban people, communities or instances you disagree with. Every public online community has bad faith actors. That's what you get for being an audience. That's life. Humanity is also full of people with poor reasoning, varying age and experiences, a few pathologies and posting while drunk/high or masturbating. If you feel you're in an echochamber, you might have crafted one for yourself. Can you tell the differences between someone who is objectively wrong, drunken shitposts, is neurodiverse, has come to a reasonable but different conclusion than you based a different weighting of relevent criteria or is posting in bad faith?

    Lemmy provides tools to block bad faith posters, but it's up to you to use them judiciously.

    I would argue Lemmy is less of an echochamber as I see more genuine LGBTQ2S+, Anarchist, Tankie, Antifa than reddit ever had. I think the smaller population here just chopped the top of the gaussian distribution curve, and we have relatively fewer "normies". People passionate, and articulate about their things.

  • Let's not paint Lemmy as a whole based on .ml. It is, notoriously, the dumpsterfire of the Fediverse.

    Edit: Like minded people sharing and discussing is not an echochamber, at least until you start excluding good faith points of view because they challenge your beliefs.

    Ignoring, downvoting and censoring bad faith rhetoric, like most of .ml, or US Maga, Russian agitprop, Chinese propaganda and similar dis/misinformation is perfectly reasonable and logical. Same goes for domestically produced bullshit.

  • No conflict. Take plan B. Pull-out is a pregnancy magnet. Like not even remotely viable.

    Play safer next time. You are far too valuable for an STD or unwanted pregnancy.

  • Shrink: Tell me about your eco-anxiety.

    Me: You know the crazy preacher guy on the downtown street corner with the "The End is Nigh" sign?

    Shrink: Yes, go on....

    Me: I got kicked out of his cult for being too pessimistic.

    Shrink: It's ok to have fears. What matters is that we keep them rational and grounded in reality so they don't overwhelm us. What was your professional background again?

    Me: I'm a scientist.

  • Itzakaya Yakitory/ton/kushiyaki smoked and grilled on a woodfire. Little skewers of chicken, beef or pork, with bits of onion in between. (Green, red onions) in a marinade of soy, mirin, brown sugar and sake. Then mix it up with chilli, mustard or oyster sauce for variety. Served with grilled vegetables and a selection of fine beers.

    Real crowd pleaser. Easier than it sounds and forgiving.
