malta tuga, enquanto elder do bluesky queria transmitir que por aqui a lógica de lidar com fachos é: se houver o que denunciar, denunciar, depois bloquear e não pensar mais nisso. essa malta vive do oxigénio da nossa interacção e indignação. que morram de tédio.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!
