Just to clarify, I don’t think it’s a problem that hatred is minimal here, and I don’t just mean politics.
I feel like I very rarely see alternative opinions about anything, whether it be software, ai, news about companies, etc. it just seems like everyone universally agrees about anything with only a tiny handful of exceptions.
It makes me hesitant to believe I’m on the “correct side” and I never see any arguments from opposition. This makes me worried that I’m in some sort of echo chamber. In real life, I do see much more diverse opinions and, if I only used the fediverse for social media, would likely be weaker in defending my own since their arguments would be “new” to me.
I understand the reasons for which the fediverse has pretty collective opinion, but it does still worry me. I want to be able to see all the other people with their own thoughts (given it’s respectful) on the Internet, which should be the most capable tool to do so.
First up, you are probably the most rational Person in the Internet, by not wanting to be in an ech chamber, and therefore also a nightmare for algorythms. Secondly, if you are seeing no alternative opinions, just go to hexbears, they dogpile in you for the tiniest shit you could imagine. Meow
Things being worst somewhere else doesn’t make the local situation better. This is like the whole “eat your broccoli there’s starving children somewhere”, people keep trying it but it won’t ever convince a kid
