i don't give a flying fuck if Bluesky is an "echo chamber." i'm on here to shitpost and be self-absorbed and weird, not to earn a Boy Scout badge for "most meritorious use of social media" or whatever the hell these goofballs are on about.

SING IT, BROTHER!
It’s my preferred echo-chamber.
If I wanted people to call me slurs and tell me to kms, I would be on X.
a reality bubble is a reality bubble IMO debating a cult has obviously not worked. I spent years on facebook debating maga types with facts and references. By definition of where we are at today, it does not work in these times at least.
Seems they're not very happy that everyone doesn't want to swim around in their toxic shit.
Thank you for saying what I’ve been thinking
My own experiment is seeing how many people think everything and everything they do not like is Nazism.
It’s not that I think everything is Nazism. It’s just some have admitted to being Nazi.
What they say: "Bluesky is an echo chamber!" What they mean: "Waaaaaaahhh, they don't like me spreading literal fascist propaganda like every other media platform promotes waaaaaaaaahhhh"
Your post got me to follow you! I love BlueSky! 💙
Same. I'm really just here so I have a place to shout into the void.
I see plenty of RW media & talking points right here, I'm aware that there's outrage farming on both sides and I'm comfortable with filtering the spins and forming my own opinions. People who dismiss this administration with "the govt always lies" just aren't going to get it until it's too late.
Perfectly said.
It all went to hell when legislation started happening on social media.
You block whoever you wish. It is your choice, nobody else’s
I simply want to use twitter without spam from porn bots and neonazis every 3 posts
Those decrying Bluesky, remind me of how misery loves company.
I like this echo chamber…you can only take maga trash on X for so long, and that’s about 5 min tops!!
But it is ok for Fox News, tweeter and many more Nazi platforms to be right wing propagand silos. Enough with holding progressive to the higher standards. I am just fine not to be virgin Snow White or unicorn.
How many times have they written a similar article about Truth Social?
Personally it’s just nice to be somewhere I don’t have to see the most heinous, evil shit every time I open the app.
I have felt it but you said it beautifully!
You mean tying up people in argumentative knots on social media won’t get me the badge? Curses, I’ve been foiled
Look- I can’t help that my Happy Harry Hard-On & Max Headroom w a like Bart and Cartman sprinkled in for flavor vibes, wrapped in a Tank Girl Attitude that knows she isn’t even supposed to be here today self seems to attract a perfectly diverse set of convos, thank Buddy Christ fuckin normies🤭
At least the echoes here aren't nightmarish.
My thoughts exactly!
Fox has so much Echo you just hear the same things repeated over and over and over again
Wow brutally honest
Does that mean we're being monitored for their crappy narrative?
there has always been echo chambers, even before the internet, The issue now it is easier to find them which is both good and bad. every tool of war can be used for science and every tool of science can be used for war.
100% plus we are all on the others.
If there’s a prize for “widest range of deranged viewpoints exposed to” I already won it on Twitter and I am happy to just rest on my laurels over here.
They make that accusation like Fox News and X aren't their echo chambers. FFS. 🙄
Sadly, this site is also inundated with bots, that are trying VERY HARD to get people to give up and surrender to the bullcrap that is tRUmp. Pay them no mind. Bluesky is cool, and they wouldn't be trying to say otherwise if it wasn't !
These non-fellas need to learn how to bonk. We have a Common enemy. Words to bots are stupid . Bonk and block
😝😂😂😂😂
Here too. You get a badge for bein’ real.
So you are the problem. Not a solution.
THIS!
Which fascist catering social media app should we turn to for balance instead?
"Echo chamber"? There is no better identification of the quality of being shallow and self oriented than someone calling other people names because they don't believe bullshit. It's a symptom.
I have had the best time here on bluesky ! I am here for the same and to reassure myself I am not the only one feeling this way ! LOVE IT HERE!
In fact I’m here in part specifically because Megan McCardle isn’t
I am so tired of McCurdle I could throw up.
I think the Twitterheads are all pizzed off because they got themselves blocked from Bluesky and are bicching because they've only got each other to beat up on. Innat a shame!
If you have ONE source of news and engagement, that’s a fuckin problem no matter what it is
Twitter is an echo chamber.
You notice how they only call platforms that give ordinary people a voice "echo chambers", corporate outlets that limit the debate to the people they select are never accused of being echo chambers even though they have far less diversity of opinion than Bluesky does.
The people saying bluesky is an echo chamber are posting about it on Shitter, quite frankly, I do not care.
They've got their Nazi echo chamber, we can have our Commie one.
1 more "it's all about me" post, gonna do you to ICE
For the same reason I live in Minneapolis, I'm on Bluesky. I don't want to deal with a bunch of ignorant right-wing assholes.
Cordially, I do see some here use the block button too rashly, where there is just disagreements with no pejoratives, etc. We could stymie ourselves just a bit. Political resolution or transformation will never happen in a vacuum.
Their own echo chambers is what helped them keep a uniformed message and agenda. Democrats need an echo chamber to regroup and plan against these fascist fucks.
show me a social media platform that isn’t an echo chamber. THAT’S HOW ALGORITHMS WORK.
Sir the internet is for arguing and arguing only /s
👍👍📌
So which ones do they think aren't echo chambers? They're all echo chambers.
Are we aspiring for: Most self-promoting use of social media Most profitable use of social media Most manipulative use of social media No? Then have fun discussing interests and current news, like normal people
Scroll here for pleasure, repost to other social media for duty.
I prefer to look at Bluesky as a safe zone for everybody on it. It echoes the voices of its participants.
Same. I’m tired of hearing what maga has to say. They are delusional and promote the US to be an authoritarian theocracy. Fuck maga.
It's only an echo chamber in the sense right wing conspiracies get shut down rather quickly
👏👏✊✊✊✊
Like other social media sites are better. They aren’t. You can find credible news and interesting subjects on Bluesky, and other places.
They're just anxious because they want to fully control the narrative, but here on BlueSky there's an alternative to the Fox/X/MAGA ecosphere.
I enjoy Bluesky !
You can't have a dialogue with a nazi. Fuck em
It's nice to have somewhere I can air my thoughts without bigoted trolls and bot accounts harassing everyone. And nobody has a moral obligation to put up with shit like Twitter 24/7.
I like this Bluesky thing. And it’s getting better all the time. So there’s that.
Ditto here. I think Bluesky has helped me keep my sanity through all this hell.
100% If you can't beat 'em (yet), commiserate with those who feel your pain.
I love blocking a-holes. Sometimes trolls need to STFU.
Brilliantly put. It's all about enjoyment and satisfaction. You got something on your chest, shout it out for all to hear(see) nobody sees what I post but I feel better for doing it. The #Bluesky path is clean and fresh. Unlike those other toxic platforms.
Yes. Agreed.
Echo chambers have value. Sometimes you want to know what the other side is thinking, but other times you need to hang out with people who share your values and opinions in order to maintain your sanity.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!
Yes. I appreciate that my news sources here are willing to deal with the filth on Twitter but I certainly don’t see the point in debating cultists, bigots or unserious people at best.
it is the way of narcissists and abusive personality types to grow intolerent of having personal spaces when you deny them access to you. that said, i would enjoy a boy scout badge with a dinosaur on it. my echo chamber excludes dinosaur haters.
But I don’t have enough followers or likes. 😅 Honestly, I could really care less, lol.
I just want to know I'm not alone.
You are on the right app. Never alone.
You are not 🫶🏻
I get you 👍🙂
Fuck yes
Damn Skippy Batman. (savage hip thrust)
Tell me which social media is not an echo chamber to some extent. X? Nazi echo chamber for Musk ego stroking. Truth Social? Trump personal echo chamber. Facebook? History and stealing identities and data. Other commercial enterprises - just that.
Here, here! I came here to scream into the void, an echo is a feature, not a bug.
this
Oh no how awful we aren't forced to listen when they call us libtards, f**gots, soiboys, etc
The maga crowd isn’t coming here for intellectual debate. They come to troll and I I don’t need that in my life. If social media is for socialization then I’m hanging with like minded folks.
And Faux Is not an echo chamber?
Ya also if this is an echo chamber, why do I keep hearing from some right wing dickhead and the "bubble" comment over at twitter three times already this morning? I'm just trying to hear about the heroes of L.A. with their skateboards and their colourful onesies k
A big thank you for snapping me outta that mini pity party. Like I was thinking I had to start debating people and taking opinions seriously. Ugh please no.
More power to you.
Fuck ‘em
I'm not gonna hear shit about an echo chamber when the alternatives are a Nazi echo chamber and the maga alternative Truth Social. (Which I'm pretty sure both are spyware)
I spent my years on 4chan, I served my nickel, I do not feel any need to continue that abuse.
It's not an echo chamber and it allows sharing of links so debate can be evidence based - even if we were all broadly on the same side (which we're not) it has value because we come into contact with more sources of information. Include links that back up your claims and your posts have more value.
I haven't been called a libtard or a cuck or a communist since switching to Bluesky. Is that what an echo chamber is?
But it's such hypocritical bullshit. What are Fox, OAN, and Newsmax? Or Twitter now, for that matter. These people have absolutely zero self-awareness.
They’re mad X is a shit platform and their others were always a joke. They don’t feel welcome and it hurts their little feelings.
What ? They be butt hurt on Xitter ? *tiny violin*
I want an echo and information chamber where ppl can share real news and ideas. Feel free to follow, folks. Happy to FB!
And I will post flower/dog/cat/space photos...and sports news AND pro-union stuff, etc.
Imagine getting upset for people enjoying and catering their own experiences.
They said that about twitter echo chamber then those same ones joined twitter I remember the abuse we received about twittter users from media .
But how else are you meant to turn every single god damn post into an argument/debate that you can win to mark on your whiteboard of "woke libtards owned". You tellin' me social media can just be about seeing things you like and have a good time?
Sure! Things you like; here they are. You like cat videos? They're all over the place. My current favorite contains a smol black imp.
All social media sites are echo chambers for the most part. Their algorithms are basically “show more of what you already have engaged with,” so of course they are going to function as echo chambers lol
I had to block a guy this morning. We'll have none of that here.
And certainly NOT like the other people who use Bluesky to funnel folks to their Patreon, Substack or Etsy shop.🙄
After seeing this, took a look at some of your posts. Yeah, new follower here.
It's fucking MAGA bots
I need support. I need to find kindred souls. Let someone else cross over to my side if they want to talk to me.
Well, you know magas are whiney little bitches. They love to blame liberals for their misery instead of looking in the mirror.
Which social media app isn't an echo chamber? Everybody curates themselves nowadays. Twitter had a growth problem and now X has a growth problem, and it never made money. Threads rides Facebook/Instagram. Who expected Bluesky to be massive less than a year after it went wide?
No Not-Zees and bots = echo chamber. Republican logic
true dat im also here to just post whatever i want whether its shit posting, behind the scenes animation or just art. i havent posted on twitter for a while so in september 2024 i moved here to just draw art
But the "other" point of view is fucking fascism. And there's a lively debate here about the best path forward, which is much needed.
Almost as bad are the very-serious moderates and their lectures.
Endless arguments on Twitter haven’t helped. Trump hurting his own reputation has helped. The Democratic leaders are mostly there so that shows you why we are so weak still. Bluesky is sanity.
If you don't like it, then don't use it.
Why?
Heck yeah.
Their own echo chamber told them that it’s gay for me to make my wife cum.
😂
My favorite was when Andy Tate announced that it was gay for guys to have sex with women, and that REAL men had sex with OTHER men! Very MANLY! Absolutely the apex of masculinity! * doubles over laughing *
He really said that? Glad I left Twitter a year ago.
I was absolutely gobsmacked! I laughed so hard I slid out of my chair.
And "engaging" with fascist propaganda and hate speech, as one might "nobly" do on certain other platforms, is quite possibly the most pointless waste of time and energy the 21st century has to offer.
Very well said. I'm so tired of the content police demanding we spend all of our free time learning how to split hairs.
it's not owned by Maga. Durh.
And here you are with hundreds of comments and thousands of likes while I've been posting my own original content almost daily in the past year and I don't even get one single like. Something isn't right with BS (in every sense of the word).
I looked on x just a few minutes ago. Absolutely nonsense over there. No one needs the most racist, conspiratorial, and fake reality freaks on their timeline or their comments. Just know that millions of people aren't interested in fact-checking a single fucking thing that suits their beliefs.
They go on about that.. meanwhile they have TroothSoshul
Wait, what? There's a Boy Scout badge for "most meritorious use of social media" or whatever the hell these goofballs are on about?
You wanna talk about echo chambers? Trumplethinskin literally has his own app for christ's sake.
We gather here for a reason. And the more they discount it, the better.😉
And if you want to hear some maga opinions, turn on the news.
I pay attention to that shit the same way I pay attention to grown-ass men who cry about Star Wars on the internet. Not-at-fucking-all
When you’re an adult, and you’ve made a deliberate decision and know what is right and constitutional, as opposed to what is the authoritarian wet dream of an absolute fool and his administration, why should you entertain other fools who support him?
ma'am please calm down
They can bitch about Bluesky after they talk about Twitterx
If they don't like it, they can get off of blue sky.
They are just upset that you aren't letting them bully you into conformity on their platform. I'm left wing on like 90% of things but I've never gotten death threats for the 10% of things I think that are more traditionally seen as conservative. Can't say that for Twitter.
Ok then….
I just told someone that I don't fight with people on Bluesky so he can be wrong behind a mute. I slogged through the 1st Trump reign of terror on Twitter. I have nothing to prove to anyone. I don't need that shit in my life. It's going to hell thanks to Trump already.
You said it!
Thing is we're not all leftist and it's divergent views such as my own that have yet to be punished for my non Leftist or Marxist views, same Revolutionary Illiberalist Republicanism that got me silenced on Twitter
I'm here to spread information and talk to my friends. Occasionally I find new friends as well!
Lol think on it!
I’m just here to heart all of @stephenking.bsky.social’s posts! Hahaha! My Instagram just turned into a bunch of Bible verses. So I deleted it.
They’re just mad we won’t let them (Twitterites) hang out because most of them can’t have a civil discussion without blasting off at the handle at each other lmao.
Preach brother Preach!
Same here. I am a retired, all day shit poster.
I don’t need Republicans or Libertarians or socialists or Democrats to tell me how or what to think.
So is X. What's your point?
Keep it weird
Only an echo-chamber to people who are upset they can't write out their bigot manifestos >.<
I'm here to join like-minded people who are sick of MAGAt talking points and trash... I detest empty husks who lie with every breath they take!
Bluesky gives me the chance of shit talking without having to argue with MAGats.
MAGA is saying Bluesky is an echo chamber because it is their MO to project and accuse the left of whatever they are doing. Twitter is an echo chamber modrated by Nazzi Star Muhsk, flush with Russian gobots.
Fucken A, Bubba.
Hell yeah. Nobody likes twitter or Facebook, even the people who are addicted
How very privileged that you don’t get affected by all the terrible things going on in the world must be nice to be a rich white man
I’m on here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I’m all out of bubblegum ~ #Bluesky
Agree. I like it here because people are nicer than on Twitter and I see actual interesting posts. Not just a bunch of bots
Just because we don’t tolerate Nazi nonsense here doesn’t mean we are an echo chamber. Be skeptical of anything you read in the Washington post- bezos is turned facist.
Stay weird.😎
Same!
When the abundant conservative echo chambers start to cave, I may believe this is something other than hypocrisy. People have looked for like minded people as long as humans have existed. Why is it a problem now?
Good point.
It's only a problem when lefties do it.
That’s textbook hypocrisy.
Yep!
