I don’t think the Fediverse will become mainstream. But I’m actually happy about that. And so should you.

      I’m about as far left as they come, but yeah it’s definitely a fairly strong left wing echo chamber, and thay absolutely can very quickly become a problem.

      I’m not even talking about “silencing the right” or whatever those chucklefucks want to complain about. We’re not there yet (nor are we particularly close at the moment), but I’ve seen plenty of communities turn into a hivemind because they’re not careful about that sort of stuff.

        Your claim to be leftist does not strengthen your opinions strength. I want an echo chamber of users with empathy. That by definition excludes all on the right. Why the fuck should I care about the opinion of a sociopath.

          Really?

          I would think then that at the very least, you wouldn’t be such an asshole.

          “I want an echo chamber of users with empathy”

          You don’t even want an echo chamber, you want a cult. No thanks

        60% of the US has empathy and 40% does not. I don’t give a shit about the opinion of those without because I already know what it is. Take your left/right paradigm bullshit away and talk about personality traits. I want an echo chamber of those with empathy. If you define that as “leftist” then yes.

          You can’t openly say that you want a leftist echo chamber. Hence you cover it up in the name of “empathy”. Good other way around mindgame
