    They’re social platforms, not entertainment, and it’s to prevent echo chambers

      the right’s echo chambers (X, Truth Social) seem to have done very well for their abilities to succeed as a movement

        Idk X has different problems in that area, it’s not really a place for meaningful discussion, and it’s often used by bad actors who just want to spread chaos, and with Elon at the helm I can’t see X different way of doing things anyway

          it’s not a place for meaningful discussion and yet, it seems to have helped them move their project along; I’m not necessarily pushing echo chambers as a positive, but it doesn’t seem like they’ve really hurt rightists across the board in advancing their ideas

      You want to prevent echo chambers? You have to stop allowing people to block others. Forcing people to see and interact with shit they don’t like prevents echo chambers. Allowing blocking just enforces echo chambers.

      For the record, I’m not for disabling blocking. Algorithms are a whole other piece of that echo chamber puzzle.
