There are some instances that's evident that a person haven't have a serious talk with anyone thinking different than them in a long time. And that's just looping on feedback for the same line of though.
This is pretty clear when people make so broad assumptions of the type every X is Y.
In this case we are talking about people saying "everyone using twitter is fash". In my opinion that's very hard to justify unless you are deep in some echo chamber and you have just read that a thousand times and this it has got engraved in your thoughts. Because that's not a rational or logical though. It's pretty evident that there are tons of people who are on twitter and are not fascist.
Just for giving an example Bernie Sanders has a twitter account and he posted there 10 hours ago. Is Bernie Sanders a fascist?
Indeed, if that person went and said that IRL to regular people they’d be laughed at. But alas one of the biggest symptoms of echo chambers is not being able to recognize you’re in one.
Lemmy in particular is becoming more and more extremist as time goes and nobody seems to notice or care. Where people used to argue their opinions, they now just block/downvote and move on because that person must be evil/nazi/fascist/troll/a russian bot and their mind cannot be changed.
at this point i can't take anyone who says "echo chamber" seriously any more, it's only used to defend shitheads
