Regarding the allegations of "echo chamber"
Some folks say that using tools such as mute and block result in an echo chamber.
Many don't pause to consider that oftentimes it is the BEHAVIOR not the IDEA that is getting muted or blocked.
Maybe it is the idea.
But I suspect many people who use these tools are doing so to reduce antagonism, not to stop thinking as the term suggests.

@Minholkin There are all kinds of reasons to block content and many ways to do it. I filtered all the *ordle posts. I don't hate people who post that stuff, it just doesn't add any value for me and it gets in the way of stuff that does. So keep posting it. I just won't see it. I've muted a few really shouty people not because I hate them or even disagree with them but again, I didn't enjoy seeing their posts. And, I muted a couple accounts that I just don't like. No hard feelings.
@ScionAltera
Yes :)
No hard feelings. That is, with hope, the general culture here.
Use the tools. Do what you want. Do not harm.
