@tael Respectfully, we're looking at very different feeds. I assume you've heard of the reply guys getting in peoples mentions telling people off for not doing alt text, or content warnings? THAT is why good people are bouncing and that is exactly why it *is* an echo chamber. If you don't conform to these rules, instead of, you know, just not following them, or blocking them, or hell, defederating their server (all of which I would be fine with) people feel so privileged that they get in these new comers face and tell them "you're doing it wrong".

We should be encouraging communities that we don't agree with. This isn't "the nazi bar" story. There ISNT a single bar! It's the "you can't come into MY bar" story. That's what federation was built for. Why is that so hard for people to live with?

@scottjenson JESUS "reply guys" doesn't mean "folks asking for alt text and content warnings" which are, you may not be aware, accessibility features that let disabled people interact with mastodon. Where's "inclusivity" in that?

Bro. Bro. Bro, quit your job, people below you must be losing their hair cleaning up after you here.
