    I do think real life can be an echo chamber, but if you have a diverse range of people you interact with, it can be not an echo chamber at all. Having multiple friend groups, attending social events, etc can make real life more diverse.

    (Ofc there’s things like living in a first world country making an echo chamber of people that don’t care about third world issues, but that’s beside the point)

    Online is also the same in my opinion.

      Yes. But people not acting in good faith don’t deserve my attention or time. No differing or opposing viewpoints are lost.

      You act like not giving them attention is as bad as when they sent the people they disagreed with to the gas chamber or gulags by the millions.
