    A good faith post would align with conservative values.

    So people are only honest when they agree with you? That’s a terrible test for honesty.

    Its a bit like having /c/starfield when /c/gaming exists, if that comparison makes sense.

    While the comparison does make sense, it ignores the damage caused by branching off to create a new echo chamber.

      More like this community is for certain kinds of posts. Like a cats community banning dog posts, for example. Posting dog posts in a cats community and acting like they belong isn’t done in good faith. Ignorance maybe, but you don’t strick me as ignorant.

      And what damage? The old community was overrun with off topic/bad faith/troll/whatever-it-is posts. Not to mention completely abandoned by the mods.

        But this isn’t just a simple fan subreddit for animals. It’s a place that influences votes, and therefore is subject to the dangers of echo chambers.

        And what damage?

        Echo chambers increase extremism, polarization, and can otherwise negatively effect people.

          I don’t think we’re in any danger of right wing extremism on lemmy.

            That’s what people thought on reddit.

      Lol, listen to your sophistry.

      Try even disagreeing with anything on communist/socialist/hexbear, etc community and see how fast you get banned.

      Nothing progressives are hypocritical at every turn.

        If you can’t go two seconds without going to whataboutism, then you have no room to complain about sophistry.

        I don’t think those leftist communities should be echo chambers either.
