    Echo chambers are not bad when the echo is due to the majority opinions being in favor of basic human rights and equality. Giving voice to those that spew hate is not conducive to going anywhere except a circle.

      And you will be the one deciding what constitutes hate, whose voice to cut off?

        As long as we have ways to give feedback and affect the system this is a good thing.

        The less recourse we have the more authoritarian it is though.

        Partly, yes, the individuals will decide. Also, partly, server owners. Collectively, the entire community will decide.

        Thankfully, for better or worse, you’ll still be able to spew hate, on your own server, to anyone who wants to hear it. The rest of us, we don’t have to put up with it.
