why the hell do you care about any of this?
maybe the better strategy is to not care about what internet strangers think about you?

Views, engagement and votes determine what people see and what they don’t as well as how they feel about it. What people see shapes their views. Their views shape their behavior. Their behavior shapes the world. It’s worthwhile for an online community to not become just another pointless echo chamber.

It’s worthwhile for men to respect when women want to gather on our own and talk about things without men’s voices.

I’m not sure that constitutes an echo chamber necessarily. Women alone obviously have very diverse opinions on topics, same for men and non-binary people. Now if there’s a specific narrative and everyone agrees and any disagreement or questioning is seen as an attack then that’s probably an echo chamber.

Oh I most definitely understand people enjoy echo chambers. They haven’t become the norm by accident.
