That's a really bad argument given one of those chambers is literally run by, and full of, nazis.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I mean this one is run mostly by people who agree with what is being said in the echo chamber too.

Though the architecture of the Fediverse does make it impossible for it to become as bad as the commercial ones.

Plenty of fascists on Lemmy. They're just not well known billionaires.

No, both sides are not the same. There is a way higher percentage on Twitter and it's centrally controlled by one.

[–] PlainSimpleGarak@lemmings.world -4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Both sides? Good grief. Not everything has to be a you vs them. And of course there is a higher number on Twitter. They have, what, 300 million active users? And Lemmy is probably .001% of that.

Thanks? By making that statement I'm sure you know the exact percentage. Feel free to provide it. I'd be interested to know.

It's bullshit that you claim it's a higher percentage than the one I provided, but don't actually know what it is? Look man, if you're just giving your opinion, that's fine. Just say so.

Luckily it's federated.
