At this point I am beyond convinced that everyone talking about filter bubbles and echo chambers is simply concern trolling and is following some nefarious agenda

Just remember than trolling your other identities is not safe

@GustavinoBevilacqua @NicholasLaney@nebbia.fail @jens @rune @oklomsy @schratze informazioni Bubbles are necessary ti avoid overwhelming . The point Is Who define the Bubble where you are confined

[mux2000@tooot.im]

@matrixsasuke @schratze so you're saying we must listen to fascists or they will spill our blood? I don't think those are the only two options, no. They can shut the hell up or we'd punch their faces. Those are two more options.

[jonas@social.evilcyberhacker.net]

@alexisvl@cathode.church @schratze which is clearly why they're never happy with Parler, Truth Social, or whatever else. They don't want to speak freely to a bunch of people who agree, they want to tie everyone else up and force them to listen.

@schratze I fucking love filters and I Will die on this hill

[anotherfriggindave@mastodon.social]

@schratze Nazis don't provide information anyway. They provide noise. They "flood the zone with shit," in their (Bannon's) own words. It's kind of definitional to Nazis, really. And noise, obviously, effectively cancels out information - it drowns it out. So, yeah. "Information bubble."

[andrej@mastodon.social]

@anotherfriggindave @schratze Plesse use CWs.

[anotherfriggindave@mastodon.social]

@andrej @schratze (New here, obviously) For what exactly? Cursing? Talking about Nazis? Steve Bannon? (I kid but I appreciate the suggestion, e.g. I'm not sure if it's typical to CW even just profanity here.)

[andrej@mastodon.social]

@anotherfriggindave @schratze Hm, I have good resources in German, but nothing in English. I quickly googled something. Maybe that is useful?

[mux2000@tooot.im]

@matrixsasuke @schratze yeah, I get that's what you're saying. That's why I'm done talking to you. You want to talk with Nazis, go right ahead. You'll both be banned on my instance.

[mux2000@tooot.im]

@matrixsasuke @schratze aaaaand you're blocked.

[aaronwinstonsmith@mastodon.bida.im]

@NicholasLaney@nebbia.fail appiddaveru

[shine@gts.churanova.eu]

@schratze Yep. It also goes together with "if you defederate / block me, you are attacking my free speech" as if free speech meant absolute right to be listened to.

[trisschen@plural.cafe]

@shine @schratze very "If you don’t follow me and turn on post notifications, you are attacking my free speech" indeed

[burnoutqueen@todon.nl]

@schratze let the Nazis breathe in their own cyanide

[karlheinzhaslip@climatejustice.social]

@schratze My fav streamer once put it... "Complaining about filter bubbles? Have you even seen The Unfiltered Internet? It's a cesspool full of filth, always has been. I want and need a bubble around the hobby I love and care about."

[alsvid@brain.worm.pink]

The fact that nazi instances exist at all is unacceptable to begin with if you ask me

@mdhughes @schratze

1/3 of auth right people are Nazis who aren't allowed to say it, and 2/3 of them are white people who fell for propaganda that preys on their fear

[thelastofhisname@beige.party]

@schratze During WW II my great uncle "reasoned" with nazis via the business end of an M1.

[mark@mastodon.fixermark.com]

@schratze Correct and cannot be emphasized enough.

There is no such thing as a lack of an info bubble. There's info bubbles that constrain / diminish / harm their participants... And info bubbles that do not. Painting them as equivalent was a very impressive sleight-of-hand executed by some of the worst people who had huge incentive to make people believe that Fox News and NPR are equivalent information sources.
