Not everyone is using this platform for news and political opinions. Some people are here for hobbies and general entertainment. It’s not “echo chambering” yourself if you are filtering out content that is not relevant to your use case.
yeah but you don’t get to do that for other people.
that is where the dispute here seems to be.
i acknowledge a certain issue with the users on this site broadly speaking, and the reply is ‘well you are just stupid if you don’t block yourself off from ‘negative content’’.
like, if you are only here for hobbies and etc, why are you in this community? because you’re going to encounter stuff outside of that here. and if that is upsetting or disturbing to you, then you should self-select out of it. rather than try to harass and browbeat other people into compliance with your use of the site.
some of us are here for news and politics and viewpoints outside of our own on a plurality of topics. we don’t see their existence as a threat to own own inner peace or whatever and celebrate diversity of opinion and perspectives outside of our own.
i mean anyone can block me, that’s cool. i block people too. But thinking these people, ideas, and communities ‘disappear’ just because you don’t see them is straight up delusional… and yet folks in this thread are claiming this is the ‘only way’ to use this site. it isn’t.
