I’m positive that this comment will help me find more users who stray from your echo chamber. Keep ‘em coming.
The people straying from the "echo chamber" aren't the ones blocking others for dissent. Sounds like you're projecting.
I’m open to new political opinions, just not regressing through yours.
I completely understand blocking or ignoring those who engage you in bad faith, but when someone disagrees with you and also engages in a discussion in good faith, you are merely silencing voices of dissent by blocking them.
How is that approach not creating an echo chamber? It seems hypocritical to label spaces that welcome good faith discourse "echo chambers" while creating your own.
Are you upset?
You don’t understand blocks do you? Here’s another shot.
