Is #mastodon becoming an echo chamber? This post from @carnage4life has me questioning our community. The Mastodon team is finally getting some traction, the product improvements are increasing, The #UX is improving, yet people posting on multiple platforms are making comments like this. It's confusing.
I *know* people here don't want this to be a classic social media-clone but we'd *like* journalists to be here right? They aren't coming with examples like this!
@ben But that's the very definition of a mono-culture. A vibrant community allows all of these topics, encourages them even. Then, with filters, who you follow, hashtags, and blocking you get the feed you want.
To get the culture you want by cutting off the supply is counter productive.
Who is actually cutting off any supply?
All i can see is someone complaining that on mastodon "no numbers go up" ...
Do you actually know that we are _NOT_ here to see random numbers go up but to organically comunicate and network with eachother?
Who told you that "numbers go up" is a viable metric for social communication?
