    Yeah reddit is already a tiny bit of an echo chamber (tech savvy, frequently online folks). Lemmy is worse (every other post is "big tech bad, Linux good, privacy ftw). Not that these are necessarily bad things, they’re just not representative of the general population.

      I would love to get the opinions of people who fall for Nigerian Prince scams, or people who actually click the ads that say “There are hot singles in your area” just to diversify my niche online social group.

      Good. If I wanted the general population, I’d scroll Facebook

      Reddit has echo chambers in the different subreddits, and they can be about as vicious or more than Lemmy instances.
