If I see one more ‘is mastodon an echo chamber’ post, I’m gonna lose it! Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s an echo chamber but I like this echo chamber.

“But you’re not being tolerant!” Fuck off, with your racist, sexist, ableist nonsense! I don’t want any form of it

@farah it's just a corporate talking point, seems like people are contantly arguing about stuff actually, and the network overall is segmented along cultural and ideological lines, so there is, for example, a right leaning edgelord side of fedi vs. communist/anarchist fedi vs. democratic party aligned fedi

but what everyone across the board agrees upon is that we don't want AI slop and corporate capture, that's the whole reason we're all here
@mook @farah I mean, that's kind of what you get when you create a decentrailzed network. People's experiences are going to vary wildly.
@[email protected] @farah yes, and that's a good thing... usually
@mook @farah True, though it can be problematic when people don't understand this and end up unintentionally gaslighting each other as a result.

yeah or a lot of people just don't see the toxic shit that happens, against trans women or black people generally, or other toxic interpersonal stuff, it's not apparent unless you're in their bubble and so more people don't take it seriously... but there are also tools in place to curate and protect one's community that aren't present in corporate silos
