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

I think a hatred echo chamber is bad because of the hatred, not the echoing. that is what corporate media is for.

I think a community echo chamber is good because of the community and the echoing. that is what fediverse is for.

it's pretty funny when outsiders from the first group stick their head in our open door to scream "QUIT HAVING FUN!!!" at people having fun.

@falcennial @farah

I think it’s even worse. “Quit having fun THAT WE CANT MONITIZE AND GATEKEEP”

@shane @falcennial @farah ObFilkRef Elfland by Leslie Fish*.

"And all you tell me,
Is you don’t care.
You can’t put a meter on,
Sunlight or air.
....
And when you’ve won all those,
Games that you’ve played,
You just might see there’s,
No one left to pay.

We’ll have the whole world,
That you threw away,
And we won’t know you at all.
We won’t know you at all."

*Yeah, Leslie's politics and stated positions ranged from problematic to unacceptable. But d*mn she could write... I'm picky about which of her songs I'll listen to, let alone reference. But I'm not giving up the good ones.
