Building an echo chamber alone is hard.
Almost feel sorry for this guy, working so hard to create an echo chamber all by themselves.
That community should be renamed “links to the craziest and most unfounded shit I can find” but that doesn’t have the same ring as “conservative”
"Do you suffer from an increasing lack of Copium? Tired of being asked to take personal accountability or put critical thought into your opinions? Come to Conservative where it's always the Liberals' fault!"
“Do you believe everything you read or hear on a podcast? Want to skip the hassle of thinking for yourself and be told how to feel about issues that don’t directly affect you? If you’re angry with nowhere to direct that rage, come to Conservative!”
This post has been up two minutes and I think already has more positive votes than any other post here. That should say something
The dude has to be a troll. No one has this little self-awareness. (speaking of @Optionhome)
Edit: Seems like the dude had enough and migrated to conservatives only
lol. That Colbert Report header graphic.
Lol
You would think being alone would make for some good echoes
Please just stay on reddit on your "echo chambers" lmao
Do I really have to endure crazies here aswell?
You can block users and there's a big red "Block Community" button at the top right.
You don't have to endure shit, maybe stop brigading other people's communities if you don't like them. You can't possibly willingly search up a community for an ideology you don't agree with, then complain about having to see them.
I mean, sure he can.
Andy, on the other hand, is doing God's work.
Meta discussion - the existence of this post makes the wonder what moderation tools on lemmy are like? And if there's systems in place to deal with unwanted content.
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/04-moderation.html
- Users report posts & comments
- Communities have mods
- Instances have admins
- Instances that disagree on how moderation should be done can block the other
Edit: Changed "unmoderated communities" to "unwanted content" to clarify my intent to discuss moderation in general
This community is moderated. We receive reports and will act on them if the reported content breaks the rules in the sidebar: there is no racism or bigotry, no personal insults, and u/stanleytweedle has not been spamming.
“Believe everything you read or hear on a podcast? Like to be told how to feel about things that in no way affect you directly?”
This and political compass memes
If you tried building an echo chamber alone, but as the 'other side' - it's actually really easy.
And the left doesn't do the exact same thing?
As an anarchist I qualify as neither liberal or conservative (unless you view anarchism as the the ultimate conservatism, and some do).
I've found that I often learn things from my conservative friends if I'm actually willing to listen to what they have to say.

Until we are all willing to get out of our echo chambers and listen to people who believe differently than we do, we are going to both stagnate and fragment as a society.
Why do people feel the need to sign up with an ideology in the first place? You know you can hold all your same beliefs without declaring meaningless solidarity with every other goon that chooses the same team name.
Everyone has an ideology, whether you realize or acknowledge it or not. That doesn't mean that everyone who subscribes to the same ideology has the same views on everything.
People who consider themselves conservatives do exist, whether we like it or not. I much prefer them to be forced to be confronted with other views and opinions every now and then that challenge their worldview.
Otherwise, they will go to some echochamber hosted by right wingers. This has already happened to the point where they basically live in a parallel universe and self-isolate. I don't think it's in anybody's interest for us to also encourage this self-isolation..
If you're an anarchist you're a leftist. Anarchism and (modern) conservatism are mutually exclusive philosophies.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Not sure I fully agree. Both the left and they right love The State, but for different reasons. I believe in the abolition of The State. I think both the left and the right disapprove of that.
As to anarchism being "conservative" anarchism is all about The Individual. That tends to be a conservative view point as the left believes in The Collective.
I find I typically agree with both the left and the right about 50% of the time. It is certainly an interesting place to live one's life.
Modern conservatism is strongly hierarchical. It may publicly preach ideals of the individual, but it always enacts policies that favor social hierarchy. That is the opposite of anarchism.
Yes, because liberals don't have their own echo chambers. /s
Like comparing the echo in a bathroom to the echo in the Grand Canyon.
bbbut bOtH SIdEs!
Liberal echo chambers rant about human rights owed to people. Conservative echo chambers talk about how to remove human rights from individuals you don't like.
