It’s disingenuous to suggest that avoiding bad faith discussions, violent threats and blatant stupidity is anything other than a normal reaction. The fucking clowns have gotten out of control there and Elon is profiting off it.
Let the place burn, figuratively of course.
Call it whatever they want. It's a place where I can post my photography and people can actually see it. Some people are so wrapped up in their politics, they don't understand how others are simply escaping the politic discourse in general.
I'm new here, but I don't really see this as an echo chamber. I'll engage with anyone if they're 1) civil, 2) not spewing hate, 3) not throwing bombs or otherwise being asshats or jerks.
Granted, I've had to block A LOT of people, but once I do, they're gone. What's left is intelligent discourse.
I think it’s more like minded educated well informed individuals coming together to share thoughts & feelings on the incoming tyrannical administration. Just because most never voted for Trump doesn’t make it an echo chamber, makes us not stupid.
Blue sky is surprisingly diverse for an echo chamber
I'm over here wondering what's going to happen when some of the tamer accounts following me see the spicy stuff
I’m hearing republicans cheated this election, systematically in Blue areas took voters off rolls & an inflated a scheme to challenge voters, ballots, mainly and battleground states affecting millions of voters that may not even know that their vote was thrown out? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfs2...
Exactly! The difference is this isn’t our only source of news. We read, listen to intelligent podcasts, etc and share it. With sources when they are useful. We don’t assume the dude in Walmart knows more than the experts. We don’t say “people are saying”. If we do it’s called out.
The MAGAts like to scream they are for "freedom", but when anyone acts to set themselves free from cult kool-aid, spews of fact-free propaganda, and zombie emissions of invective MAGAts cry like frustrated toddlers. We are FREE to define our preferred conversation partners. Fuck 'em!
To understand the opposite side of an argument there must be rational thought, reasonIng and facts to back up their viewpoint.
It isn't that we won't listen to your argument - it is that you don't have any, and we are simply rejecting your rhetoric and lame AI memes to school us "losers".
I guess it could be. I haven’t blocked anybody yet but I’m still figuring out getting started. I have been social but not on media for fucking years. It seems positive without even needing to block anybody yet. Also it’s clearly having lots of new users and weeklong account I’m seeing changes
Update: I’ve blocked a few. I think the appeal of block lists is to fast track the process. I don’t see echo chamber as much as … uhh where’s that comic… a filter.
Hmmm
And Truth Social is ____??? 🙄
Funny they NEVER look into their own ironically hypocritical mirror
I like this echo chamber.
My timeline is predominantly filled with good people - ones who aren't trying to knock me down with (EXTREMELY IGNORANT) condescention or hatred.
One thing you can count on with anyone to the left of republicans is actual conversation. Outside republican circles, people actually like diversity, especially in opinions and perspectives. So I am not worried about blocking magats. They do not add much of anything worth hearing to conversations.
I turfed X completely on Friday. There's some people I will miss (I hope they eventually come over here) but my emotional well-being began to suffer whenever I went there.
Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting others into thinking they have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed. Challenge my world view all you like, just don't be a c..t about it.
the echo is the sadness seeping in from billionairetown. now cheer the fuck up and get out there to fight for your rights in good ol’ america because we don’t have harris to do it for us
Imagine the party of Truth Social, Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, Breitbart, NY Post, TPUSA, RW podcast after RW podcast, infowars (lol), Real America News, CPAC, etc., etc., and now X, complaining about others having an "echo chamber". 😅
Exactly. I truly don’t understand what value I could possibly derive from being surrounded by creepy Musk fanboys and literal fascists back on Twitter.
I hate that people misuse the word echo chamber so much.
Bluesky is a collaboration of a myriad of people and identities, but at the same time no one is FORCED to like you if you’re racist, homophobic, etc…and if you don’t like something the block button works. 🤷
after experiencing all the hate and fear mongering over on X it is so refreshing to come here and chill and enjoy being around educated people that don’t feel the need to be insulting. Great Job BluSky.

Not only is that true for people he doesn't like but it would trigger him and MAGA the most as Elon purports to be the "savior of free speech"
(maniacal giggle!)
Yes, it has been nice, the only troll I met in here never texted me back.
Every generation gets the call to defend the Light from the Darkness.
The Darkness just showed us all who and what he is.
It's our turn.

I get that all the time.
That's why I have a few accounts.
He's not the only one who can play games.
Do not feed the trolls. Do not let them gain a foothold.
People are even making MAGA block lists! I love it!
I truly think ECHOS are beautiful to listen too.

Then I go battle knuckles heads on Shitter, I can't let them think they can just bully and get free reign.

then musk took it over and turned it into a mis/disinformation propaganda machine
i'll take this echo
we are all water dripping off stalactites, the sound, our collective peace as we meditate together in this metaphoric cave of sanity

"Will it not have any restrictions?"
Your post should be: Why can't I post the same old, tired joke we've seen a hundred times?
I want real conversations that are honest and based in reality.
Si Señora!

They have no idea.
They're imagining the ugly dystopian free-for-all that Musk turned Twitter into, but with tastier fries and fizzier drinks.
They have no idea that Bluesky has an infinite number of magnificent chambers, and no echoing at all.
