Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about "I can't use muh slurs, this is awful."

"The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media." /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn't far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they're lying, they're too stupid to figure out lemmy.

I don't think echo chambers are good for anybody. It's the echo chambers that created many of these people.

Nah, it's a general tolerance for the intolerant. Places like r/PCM and r/conservative and reddit as a whole are far too tolerant of bigots. It should come as no surprise that they have been invaded by fascists. If you value and enjoy tolerance, the best thing you can do to preserve it is to not tolerate intolerance.

Above all else, echo chambers are boring.

Boring is good shit posting and constant online arguments have radicalized to many people and caused many real world deaths I love lemmy specifically because it is boring

I've never found the echo chamber fear even valid in the slightest. The opposite of an echo chamber is Facebook and i dont think having your average Johnny Wraparoundsunglasses barge in and spouting whatever trash they found on the daily wire very intellectually stimulating.
