    W response very helpful

    Thanks. I guess maybe echo chamber isn’t the right word because a group spewing the same rhetoric whether true/false is an echo chamber. It may be more accurate to say that im interested in a space that promotes better dialogue and isn’t filled with slop that muddies the conversation.

    I joined lemmy after severe frustration with other platforms. It feels like genuine online human forums that are devoid of bots simply do not exist anymore. It also feels like people are more ok with understanding less and less about the world around them, so long as they have an echo chamber in their phone that aligns with their worldview. Is lemmy actually a better environment? You’d think that if you care enough to end up here that you also care enough to notice the world around us dramatically changing. I’m not looking for an answer or an action, just an acknowledgment that the world feels to be on a downward spiral.
