That is not the point of Lemmy.
I'm so tired of people thinking the point of social media is to create a personalized echo chamber.
the point of lemmy is being libre. i enjoy customizing my content instead of just being fed by an algorithm. its just neat having the ability of creating an echo chamber, even if thats not what you want. people should be able to absorb opinions in the way they want
You're being downvoted by an echo chamber for calling out the echo chamber.
LOL no. You dont just let an insane person run around wielding a knife cause they want to.
Saying its ok to want to only hear exactly what you want is not how existence works and you will crash against actual reality when it doesnt care to live up to the expectations of online.
like, why do you care? it's none of your business how others form their opinions. even though i agree that it can be healthy and probably a good thing, people still have no obligation to confront themselves with differing views.
Because I am a part of the world and an avatar to enact its will.
Which means, yeah I'm just another person you have to deal with. The fact that I can is why you have to deal with it.
Its weak and completely anti life to hide from all others for your existence. You might as well not at that rate. Existence is in observation. If you want nobody to observe you existing then you really aren't living.
A life of no challenges and learning or differing opinions doesnt exist. Even rocks have to accept the opinion of rain.
Yeah exactly. We both exist. And we all have to get used to seeing bottom feeders everywhere we look. Cause here you are.
I think it's a good thing that I could just choose to not deal with you anymore. I like having the option to choose the people I interact with and I think everybody should have that option. Also, thanks for sharing your views on existence and life.
