Most people with working brain cells use social media to engage with like-minded folk. To have friendly discussions about their interests or to make new friends. If you want to argue with randoms all day about stupid shit, go to Twitter.

WE become a mirror-opposite echo chamber to QMAGA? Isolate ourselves, until we only hear what we want to hear? Oh my love. That’s QMAGAspeak An echo chamber is an echo chamber is an echo chamber. I was IN a cult. You’re encouraging us to BECOME one. Stop We engage in ALL sides. For OUR safety.
You're ignoring the fact that a lot of people are here to connect in fun, healthy ways that don't involve wallowing in the world's shit 24/7. Also, many of the arguments you want to have are with people who argue in bad faith, but mostly, it's about the lack of a rage algorithm making life better
You’re ignoring the absolute fact this platform sold itself to us, in response to political silencing on X. We all came here in ORDER to address The Heritage Foundation and all it entails. It’s why we all came here. Facebook is still real Good for Kumbaya and not dealing with anything else.
Most people who came here before November last year came here to talk about things without bigots showing up all over the place. Not just to doomscroll and post about everything being terrible all the time. I've been here since 2023 and most people who joined then are the same.
Also, not everyone here is American. There are people from Japan, various European countries, and others. So no, that is not why everyone came here.
The people over there call this place an echo chamber but yet 99% of Twitter discussion boils down to ragebaiting and doomposting? It's the very definition of irony and hypocrisy 🙄
I was in a cult. I work with the best, to help people leave cults. I’m wondering why you’re encouraging this platform to enter isolationspeak? You’re “Tightening the net.” You know that. You understand cults so you know what that means. So why do that? Why help Trump? Can you explain why, please?
Large numbers of people on Twitter say this place is an echo chamber. They don’t do irony, do they 🤦♂️
Dopey mfers
🤭🤭🤭
😅
So true! 🎯
Really? So… “X is an echo chamber! THEY tell people “over there” to ISOLATE! NO outside information!!! Because CULT!!! THAT’S why WE need to do THE EXACT SAME THING!!! WE can be a Cult Echo Chamber, too, you know!! Just Like QANON. We can isolate Just Like QMAGA! #cultspeak Fucking STOP.
@thelouvreof.bsky.social
Building community is a key component of resistance. The trolls and what-if-ers and but-alsos are there to prevent that. Talking through differing opinions makes us stronger.
i come here to make friends and find people into the same stuff im into, not to spend 7 hours doomscrolling negative, awful shit and arguing with horrible people saying and acting horrible
Facts! I really don't understand people that feel compelled to live their lives in perpetual argument. Screw that lol
🔥🔥
I have social media to say the things that I don't have anyone to share with in my real life.
Amen. Glad to have this community. Before you hit Tweet/ Before you hit Post.
Haha, no brainer.
I’m retired. I’m just here to keep myself from talking to the dog all day
Fucking real😂
EWWW! People.
Right?
..or fucking Facebook.
Twitter is terrible place to argue with people. It is a place where you rant and rave. I think discord is better for arguments.
I would add another qualifier: most people who are worth talking to… The other platform is great for being argumentative because bots love moving goalposts, so an argument can go on forever. Arguing/debating very rarely changes anyone’s mind so it is ultimately better to “stay in your lane”.
I like a good argument… as long as it’s good natured.
Fair
Yeah there's some nuance here. I've had genuinely good discussions on here, as well as fun jokey arguments. Then there's always still the rage bait, emotionally immature people on the internet. But we just have to choose to ignore it, or end it as soon as you realise a person is just irrational.
The last thing you want is a true echo chamber. You just want a place where different views can coexist and exchange perspectives. Others perspectives inform better ideas, how can a problem be solved in an amicable way instead of doubling down on a staunch ideology that says I'm right and ur wrong
Exactly.
I get you absolutely. I mean there’s healthy debate and then there’s arguing with a bit of abuse thrown in there. I think the difference is when I mention Twitter it’s because it’s nothing but hateful, abusive arguing over the difference of opinion about the most ridiculous things on there.
True dat
I was weak and contributed a tiny amount. 😭
Beautifully said!!
🥲
Fair.
Got to wonder how many of these social media arguers would take it to a real-life venue (bar, shop, etc) & then get aggrieved if something happened to them. My rule of thumb: 'Would you say it if your gran was there?' No? Pipe down. Yes? Maybe gran was the problem & being an arsehole is generational
The cruel joke is that it’s all stupid shit, though. Top to bottom. Just enjoy the ride down the shit slide. But you’re gonna get a little shit on ya. Just the nature of the business.
Arron speaks truth, There's so many awesome people here .
🫂
OR FACEBOOK👀
Now I’m arguing with someone on a post about not arguing with people.
There's always gotta be someone xD
I’m literally saying “let’s be better and have a more positive space” and this person is like “Well acktually 🤓”.
🙄😅
😖
At least you are self aware 🤣
😭
Pretty much
This is why you are the GOAT! 🐐 👑
Another reason I like Bluesky - people giving compliments to random people. ❤️
That's why I left Twitter (never was X).
But. But I want right-wing wackos to argue with me all the time. Said no one ever.
100%!! I’m all for discussions but once people cross the line to attacking I block and don’t look back.
Fr
Go back to Twitter. We don’t do that shit here.
👏
Even on Twitter, I try to keep it at friendly discussions. Except when it's about generative AI against AI bros. Then I become FERAL
Well that's pleasant It'd be really nice if you didn't tell people what to do or where to do it
and please don't come back here to post screenshots of what you saw on twitter, especially the light mode ones
