I’m Republican in name only. In Florida you have to pick a side if you want to vote if you pick independent then you have no vote in primaries so I just picked one. Lol but I get to vote for the worst possible candidate to run
I’m sorry the idea that an “echo chamber” is this horrible thing that cheapens a platform is ridiculous. There is no greater echo chamber than Fox News, so spare me the outrage! MAGA just doesn’t want us to build a strong network of pro-democracy people to counter the red pilled nonsense on X.
I hate calling it an echo chamber. I'm pretty sure the website that is supporting rapists, pedophiles, insurrectionists, oligarchs, billionaires, conmen and imperialist are the echo chamber. Dumbest people on the planet by miles.
There is a part of me that feels abandoning Cancel Culture in it's entirety was a mistake. Some people are not engaging in good faith and can be cancelled.
I know it's not the point of the comic but I'm laughing at the idea that a bunch of guys are just sitting around looking up blue sky on the TV together instead of playing video games haha
my favorite thing about this entire argument is that literally every social media site is an echo chamber. as more users join, more and more of them will happen to lean a certain way. then they will agree that this is the way they want to go, and kick everyone else out. this happens on each one.
Just can't win with them. First they wanted us to stop calling them out on Twitter and now that we've said, fine, we'll go to our own place, they are mad that we've left Twitter.
Okay, I know what they want, they want us on Twitter admitting how brilliant they are and how wrong we are. Not happenin
We have to acknowledge how dangerous echo machines are. A good reason MAGA is so convicted is because they've watched Fox since the stone age.
That said, it's hard to meet MAGA in the middle when their beliefs are rooted so far from objective reality. But that doesn't mean we ignore our own biases.
When I come across people who are incapable of having a civil conversation I tell them that I will be blocking them, and I tell them that I hope they have a pleasant day.
It's important not to let others negatively rub off on you, and I will be as kind as possible since it costs me nothing.
I was really loving talking to all the leftists on here. The resist crew is drowning out actual information by telling everyone Trump is bad 10,000 times a day.
"Bluesky is an echo-chamber, so come back to our echo-chamber where you'll be harassed and advertised to by alt-right accounts and bots in search of the same content you could have found on Bluesky"
Starting to think “echo chambers” are the last thing staving off Dead Internet Theory from coming to complete fruition. Connect with people whom you know are real and move on.
Sick of the repetitive derogatory terms being misused and thrashed about. Twitter got smacked by the invisible hand.

Yeah, don’t be—a lot of us have just gone around the horn with enough of you freaks enough times to blow through an account like yours in a morning coffee.
Turns out reading is less of a big impressive deal when you, y’know, do it more regularly.
Sounds more like putting the cart in front of the horse. Get some fresh air sweetie or enjoy some tea, ya be spending a little too much time obsessing over folks living rent free in your mind. You do you though love 💙🍵
To make it clear, I don't even use Bluesky for any political choice, preference, or anything like that. I wanted to use Bluesky to pretty much post whatever I feel like.
And then they tune into their faux news which is 100% a maga media network/echo chamber and they feel like it’s completely normal. The amount of double standard bullshit they employ is absolutely dumbfounding

"If you don't cite one of these sources, you are a communist. Do your research."
Or “Just Google it, it’s there I swear”. Gives hella “source: trust me bro” vibes. Like if I’m wrong as you say, the correct thing to do is to educate the individual but then again, you see how that’s going with who they voted for.
Also forgot that if you don’t agree with their ideologies they label you as a foreigner who needs to go back to their own country. I can’t tell you how many times I disagreed with a MAGA viewpoint and was told to go back to my own country despite being a white guy born in America 🤷🏼♂️
Meanwhile Prince Regent Musk is physically incapable of keeping his neck out of European politics.
Besides, foreigners are allowed to give input to how American elections affect them. They don't get a vote, but since America is so powerful, everyone worldwide is affected by the US election.
I’m mean it’s not like they have Twitter, Facebook , trumps dumpster fire , etc… there’s nothin we cis white men can’t pretend we are marginalized while pretty much having everything … ;p
Tbh I think this doesn't have as much echo chambers as twitter even though am still new. I don't have news and shit on my feed sometimes politics about gender Wich I don't really like, fuck whoever you want but don't shove it in my face and that's it, Am having fun with blue sky.
We came to Bluesky to get away from the negativity the other websites have embraced for self interest and not for others.
They forget that they made those to give other people entertainment. Though I guess to help themselves too, but submiting it simply out of fear of someone else, it will fall.
I mean.. it is, but what isn't nowadays, it is literally inevitable to be in an echo chamber nowadays lol
You have to make a conscious effort to NOT be in an echo chamber and go out of way to engage with those who disagree with you. Also most people who say this are from Twitter... which is... lol
Genuinely a nice place where even when you disagree with people, it doesn’t get heated and no one insults each other. They’re so upset they don’t have people to bully anymore
Really wish it was further left, but truly terrible liberals being 99% of the worst people on this site is a refreshing change from the endless swarms of literal Nazis elsewhere.
The perception of an echo chamber...beyond politics there is a lot more discussion on a plethora of topics...also echos in the scientific method, respectful discourse, air fying dogs, Ukraine, and commas...😁
Literally why I chose here over Twitter (I heard all over Twitter's a toxic waste dump and I never wanted to step foot on it because of it, when I heard this platform is a non toxic Twitter I decided to step on here on new year's and I'm glad I did (it'll take some time to readjust w/ video limit)
Yeah, I don’t want to be somewhere where people are taken seriously when they spew bigotry about trans people and when they lie about vaccines. Banninated and blocked and all the things, I’m not giving my business to a platform that validates that. And if it starts happening here, too, byyyeeee.
well those turds can go to literally any other social media platform that has shit moderation and lets you use as much hate speech as you want and let us have our LiBeRaL eChO cHaMbEr
The fun is constantly clicking on "Not interested in this" and blocking accounts that are just selfies or guys in there pants flexing, (I have an alt account for that sort of thing)
Not really related- but I came into ownership of 7 unmarked, unstamped glasses that have an almost identical hue to pictures of vaseline glass images I've found. Waiting on a black light to see if they glow.
Now that I disagree with. What Bluesky is, is a platform with a large academic and journalistic presence. Now it just so happens that when you get experts and people knowledgeable in their discussions in one place you get a "liberal bias" because most facts support "the left".
So what if it is? Twitter is the Right Wing Echo chamber. We just do not want to have to listen to them anymore. Meanwhile, most of my time on Facebook is spent blocking them.
Because I have a game I play that you have to be friends on Facebook to trade with others. Because it is the easiest way to stay in touch with my very scattered family. Because there are content creators I like whose reels are there. Because a lot of writers are there.
The difference between a liberal echo chamber and a right wing echo chamber is the former echoes the truth (for the most part) and the latter echoes a bunch of made up crap with an agenda. How do we know this? Because the truth is biased to the left.
Do you have a problem with that? We come here so we don’t have to fight and listen to the mega crazies. This is our safe place to vent to each other without the lies
“Stop having fun” is really what it boils down to. Social media is meant to be a fun social experience that brings us together.
Not a debate Parlor for politics and opposing social views.
🤷🏾♂️I don’t want to HAVE to interact with people I don’t want to. wouldn’t do it irl I won’t do it on X
This absolutely is a liberal echo chamber and that's why we like it. Need somewhere to heal after being slapped in the face with hatred all day long elsewhere.
Again with this? Obsessed much?
I’d rather listen to echos all day than a single magat for 2 mins.
They suck the cells from my brain.
Echos vs conspiracy theorists, flat earthers, bible thumpers and just your basic morons?? Let’s see 🤔 hello hello hellllllooooooooo!

Like some liberal made an account just to troll the other side there?
Is that a thing?
I think of trolling as essentially harassing but I may be off.
It's important to be aware of it, to touch grass every now and then, and keep things in perspective to avoid your views getting distorted!
Hence why I'm glad the culture of Bluesky has been ignore and block.
My personal theory is that not one good opinion is had by someone with 1776 in their handle.
Not to mention out of control art theft.
I want consequence culture
I’m not saying such a site exists, but there are varying degrees to which this is achieved.
Twitter is the worst. It’s managed by a naive, apartheid troll who just bought America.

My guy, the Muskrat uses alt accounts to be his own hypeman… If ever there were an echochamber, then he definitely bought one for himself.

Refusing to cooperate with toxic activities is a good way to demonstrate it isn’t fun or enjoyable.

This is a factual echo chamber of anything.

I think it’s good to realize that literally none of them have the mental faculties to reason logically.
Once this is proven, there’s no point continuing to talk to them. They’ve been exposed.
They forget that they made those to give other people entertainment. Though I guess to help themselves too, but submiting it simply out of fear of someone else, it will fall.
Quit being civil to one another
Quit blocking us without engagement
Quit laughing at us
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Maybe then they can call bluesky an echo chamber
Can talk sports politics and so on without immediately being screamed at 😂
(I expel radiation straight from my eyballs)
I wonder if they will produce radiation like those clock hands made of radium back in the olden times
I didn't use X even back when it was Twitter. I do not use Instagram. I quit Threads about a month after it started.
I like it here now. If that changes? I will find something else to do.
They make conservatives appear sensible and rational.
But yeah, not bad.

We also are anti-misinformation. Hard for them to lie about stuff that isn't true.
This place is lefty because we don't want bad people.
