So, lemmy isn't just one site. If you had a bad experience on one instance, by all means leave and go to another one.

Hm.. I find it interesting to see people argue in favour of echo chambers.

In today's world.. that kinda baffling b

The above is saying that Lemmy is not monolithic and if you find one instance an echo chamber there are other instances that may be more to your liking.

Thank you, yes. I can kinda see how OP took it wrong, but this is exactly what I meant. We don't need to put up with echo chambers any more.

Being the only person on one side of a conversation doesn't necessarily mean you're in an echo chamber. It could also just mean that you're wrong.
