Twitter and Reddit. Arguably the biggest sources of fresh and current information at all. You want to know what is going on right now? Go visit one of the two and you’ll be up to speed in a matter of minutes.
I don’t think the Fediverse will become mainstream. But I’m actually happy about that. And so should you.
I’m about as far left as they come, but yeah it’s definitely a fairly strong left wing echo chamber, and thay absolutely can very quickly become a problem.
I’m not even talking about “silencing the right” or whatever those chucklefucks want to complain about. We’re not there yet (nor are we particularly close at the moment), but I’ve seen plenty of communities turn into a hivemind because they’re not careful about that sort of stuff.
Your claim to be leftist does not strengthen your opinions strength. I want an echo chamber of users with empathy. That by definition excludes all on the right. Why the fuck should I care about the opinion of a sociopath.

“I want an echo chamber of users with empathy”
You don’t even want an echo chamber, you want a cult. No thanks
Really?
I would think then that at the very least, you wouldn’t be such an asshole.
