    Wow. Please link to that thread. Squid might not be a moderate, but he would only be extreme to those who support genocide and other fascist crap.

      Well he isn’t the most extreme and is actually fairly reasonable by Lemmy standards. I know that others have complained so I figured I’d bring it up.

      Also calling anything you disagree with fascist and genocide is really fair. There is always another side to the story.

        Who said anything about my beliefs? Way to totally expose all your arguments as just being personal attacks you dreamt about or “heard or reddit.”

        I was referencing what people who are actually extreme on this platform sometimes actively promote. You need to stop judging people so quickly by what you think you have understood if you would like to be persuasive.

        Edit: Also still waiting for a link to that post on reddit.

            Welp, that one user on reddit just cannot handle opinions that differ from their own. Nor can they clearly state what squid said that upset them. Sounds like that user only wants to hear their own opinion on things, which is really what creates an echo chamber. Sad for them to miss out on all sorts of cool stuff.

            But I completely agree with you about fighting the echo chamber effect. However, that does not mean anyone should be careful about putting thier opinions out there, that would just result in a different type of echo chamber. Blocks should only be for trolls, and not for differing opinions.
