> Being able to share block lists sounds like a perfect formula for an even more extreme version of the social media echo chamber effect we've seen on other platforms.

I like my echo chamber. I like talking to my friends online. I don't want things I don't want to see.




I get this, and I use bsky. What I don't understand is why some of my more liberal friends have a meltdown when I tell them I successfully use Twitter for what I want to get out of: instant news and commentary, some memes, some Instagram like feeds, and a couple of other things. I don't use the firehouse feed, I just pay attention to those I follow and have almost zero issues.

This is it anywhere near good faith. Also, aren’t you tired of “everyone I don’t like is a fascist”?


Elon Musk is everyone?


Because caring about a stranger's political opinions that much, simply to play pretend activist, is mentally and physically exhausting.
