Yeah reddit is already a tiny bit of an echo chamber (tech savvy, frequently online folks). Lemmy is worse (every other post is "big tech bad, Linux good, privacy ftw). Not that these are necessarily bad things, they're just not representative of the general population.

Good. If I wanted the general population, I'd scroll Facebook

Reddit has echo chambers in the different subreddits, and they can be about as vicious or more than Lemmy instances.
