      I’m not sure you understand a what a strawman is. This doesn’t relate to it.

      No one is advocating for what the prior comment illustrated. It’s a caricature, a way people describe how others interact online while implying they themselves keep more diversity of opinion around them.

      Most have varying degrees of interactions with people across the ideological spectrum in different spaces in their lives. The image that was drawn is so simplistic and doesn’t represent most people.

      Just throwing up a screenshot of “echo chamber“ isn’t a meaningful response. If anything it’s patronizing and low effort. It says more about your grasp of this subject than it does about my argument.

        This is where you implied it was an attack. By saying that I was drawing an image of people when literally all I did was an explain what an echo chamber was. I never passed judgement on you, or said anything about the diversity of opinions I partake in. You decided all by yourself to be upset about a simple explanation of what an echo chamber was. If you’re not in one, don’t worry about it lol

          You lectured me on what echo chambers are for no reason then. Is that how I should be interpreting this?

          Did I ask for a definition? Did anyone?

            Are positive LGBT communities echo chambers?

            If you only ever interact with that one opinion, then yes

            No! I didn’t even care about what an echo chamber is! I just wanted to pass judgement on people who use this phrase without accepting any new considerations for what it actually means.

            I think you might be protecting your peace a lil too close to the sun
