I'm with Shepard on this one, even if he's being a jerk about it.
Lemmy is a filter bubble, an echo chamber. You miss information that would be personally important to you, but is excluded because it doesn't fit with the US Democrat party line, and the very specific part of it Lemmy's politically active base likes.
Like, I'm a raging Trump hater, but I'm kind of aghast at how many knee jerk reactions (like, to me, your original reply) I get when I imply something vaguely critical about the Democrats.
If you spend your entire time and get all your information on lemmy then you have a bigger issue beyond some echo chamber internet communities. Really and truly.
Demonizing spaces for like minded people to congregate doesn’t solve that.
If this is a polite way of saying "go somewhere else to lightly criticize democrats," I don't accept that. I can at least hope Lemmy can do better, and try to change it.
Of course having a good information diet is critical. But that's besides the point? I don't think this thread would be a thing if all our information diets were great.
That’s an absurd interpretation of what I said. There is no way you actually think that’s what said.
