A lot less annoying then endlessly filtering content by community and user

    Bruh. It’s not an echo chamber to filter out literal Nazis and other stuff. Ain’t nobody changing their mind from “spirited” internet debate and I don’t need their garbage in my day.

      If you really mean “literal Nazis”, that tends to support the hypothesis that you’re not being exposed to much that contradicts your worldview.

        Tell me more about how you must listen to literal Nazis on a daily basis to contradict your worldview.

        And if you don’t think Lemmy has or has had to deal with literal Nazis:

        Lol

          You are referring to literally everyone you disagree with as a Nazi. You are an example of someone who lives in a toxic filter bubble.

            No, I don’t. When I call people Nazis and fascists it’s because I know what both of those words mean, being literate.

              Then you are missing the point because there are tons of people who disagree with you who aren’t Nazis. OP is talking about how it’s great how you can only talk with people you agree with.

                You are replying to a comment thread that is about blocking Nazis, it’s completely disingenuous to act like that’s not a legit problem and that anyone is talking about anything other than actual fucking Nazis. They are real. No one said everyone they disagree with is a Nazi because that’s fucking stupid.

                No shit, genius.

                For example, the liberals endorsing genocide for realpolitik aren’t fascists, they’re just doing what American liberals have done since the founding of liberalism as an ideology.

                I disagree with them but don’t call them Nazis and don’t think their opinions on other things shouldn’t be heard.

        There are many that were defederated many months ago that aren’t even the common ones discussed. I forget some of their names but you can review the defed lists. They are beyond the pale, open open racism, calls for open violence, CP, etc. I’m not talking about some double speak, bad policy maga stuff, I’m talking about cartoons showing minorities as animals, cartoons of lynchings, etc.

        The fediverse is a big place.

        Edit who the fuck downvotes this

        I was speaking to the general practice of filtering in response to the echo chamber generalization, not the original post calling out instances. Personally I filter out porn instances because that’s not what I’m here for. The nice thing about the app I use is that I don’t see any posts from those instances but I can choose to see comments because people interacting on the posts I see are generally there for random reasons and are reacting instead of posting their whatever.
