Lemmy is an echo chamber you make yourself tho. There are no algorithms that push certain content to you. Obviously, if you only lurk on shit like hexbear, my condolences, but I don’t feel like Lemmy is an echo chamber, at least much less than reddit was.
Dunno. Unless they just output feeds in chronological order and maybe add some filter which I have explicitly defined myself, I’m not trusting any algorithms.
Echo chambers are not dependent on having an algorithmic feed. It just matters that the people you talk with and the information you consume, etc, filter out dissenting opinions from what you hold.
Lemmy is still very much an echo chamber simply by virtue of the people who tend to be here. But we can balance that with time spent on other platforms, IRL relationships, etc.
An echo chamber is an echo chamber. Whether natural or artificial. Lemmy is extremely one sided. Descenting opinions are not tolerated nor welcome (from a political standpoint). Perhaps less so than reddit as Lemmy user base is much smaller.
If I want an echo chamber, I’ll just go back to reddit. Bluesky is ass.
idk why the downvotes. you’re right.
Because Lemmy is equally an echo chamber, and historically people do not like being reminded of inconvenient truths.

In Bluesky you choose your own algorithms by adding feeds you follow.

The Following feed is chronological and every other feed is mostly made by other people.
