One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back.
I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.

Sooo I always end up comparing values for something like move to locations and always struggled with getting a "close enough" value. I did not realize there was a built in Mathf function for this very case 🤦♂️

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.
Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Look, I know there are more important things going on. But how do I get paid boatloads of money to make decisions that anyone with a brain can tell you are dumb as hell?

This has been a losing issue for Republicans, and by Democratic math it seems insane to make a point of doing this. What's to be gained? But what Mace is demonstrating here is that the "opposition" party lacks the stomach for a fight. They are true believers and will dominate with their belief
