I personally do not have any issues or beef with flying squid. They seem like a decent user but I have also gotten used to the crazy takes here. My point is that we should be more aware of beliefs and echo chambers.
Welp, that one user on reddit just cannot handle opinions that differ from their own. Nor can they clearly state what squid said that upset them. Sounds like that user only wants to hear their own opinion on things, which is really what creates an echo chamber. Sad for them to miss out on all sorts of cool stuff.
But I completely agree with you about fighting the echo chamber effect. However, that does not mean anyone should be careful about putting thier opinions out there, that would just result in a different type of echo chamber. Blocks should only be for trolls, and not for differing opinions.

I think mods should avoid having opinions
