I think we do echo chamber with dope ass bear characteristics at times, but also the Overton Window here is far to the left of what is considered sane and acceptable in Western Politics

ohoho au contraire my dear pal, for you see, you have stumbled upon my rhetorical trap! heheehhe, you see by disagreeing with me on this point, you have proven my point that this is not an echo chamber spontaneusly grows a fancy and somehow already waxed moustache which I then begin to twirl you have been duped by.. The Rhetoritician! Eeeeheheheheeheehe

No but you're right. I just wanted to push against the idea we're somehow more of an echo chamber than anywhere else. It's not like lemmy.world isn't just a big box of libs patting each other on the back. This place was really bad before federation, so much self-congratulatory posting about not being reddit and pointless struggle sessions.

as a result many ideas that would be acceptable in "I'm as left as they come but" spaces are met with razors and lemon juice here.

You made me (fondly) remember the lib who cried about me telling them they'd get the shit kicked out of them if they were in my org for trivializing genocide and doing all the classic lib condescention.
