"Is Mastodon becoming an echo chamber?"
I dunno. What even is 'Mastodon' in this conversation?
I'm on dice.camp because I like their moderation & federation decisions. If you're on a different instance, how "echo-y" your "echo chamber" is may vary.
But if you don't like it when people are picky about who they associate with & how, just go hang out on mastodon.social or whatever.
@artemis The Fediverse shows the fatal weakness of what is traditionally called "anarchism". People simply don't understand what "federated" means or what decentralization is or how to use it. They don't understand that here you set your own boundaries which are no one else's business and that everyone else can do the same too. Here anyone can talk to anyone, everyone or one person if they want to. No one is going to force anything on them.
Yet still they go around policing people as if they were on X/Twitter or some centralized, corporate platform when the freedom to act for themselves had been placed in their hands.
Has anyone got a problem with who someone talks to? Disconnect yourself from them and make further contact impossible! Simple as that!
