Echo chambers aren’t as prevalent or as problematic as you think. The biggest echo chamber is actually most likely your own neighborhood. The internet, even small communities, is where you’re most likely exposed to diverse viewpoints. Shit, just yesterday I saw someone saying they were hurt by how we talked about Slavs. Where the heck am I gonna see that in Maryland?
What are you talking about? It is BY FAR the subreddit with the most consistently throughly cited responses. Comments get removed even just for not having sources.
You are not talking about the same subreddit, please check yourself. Or maybe provide some citations of your own if you’re going to say that content of that caliber is “unresearched”. I mean who the heck are you??
Who is u/audax ?
You don’t know anything about r/AH do you?
I have heard some respectable communities, namely r/AskHistorians, express hesitance at coming to Lemmy in part over fears of appearing biased due to the overt political stance of Lemmy’s creators. In other words, it’s hard to be a neutral body in affiliation with anything that has an overt political stance.
I wonder what the devs of Lemmy think of this hesitance. Is it unreasonable and itself biased? Or do you see any potential for finding a way to facilitate a platform that would allow for a more neutral space?
What game is that? Looks like Blizzard game, maybe Diablo? 4? Never seen D4 before.
Me too, then I could block him now instead of having to wait
Yeah, the one who draws an imaginary teen girlfriend and unfunny cringe comics
As if apple users had no fuckin clue
aside: why can’t lemmy just let me expand the thumbnail without directing me to an external site
Didn’t the actor who played Tyrion Lannister stand by the ending? I remember him being salty about criticisms of it. Though to be fair it must really suck to have your breakthrough role go up in flames like that. I wouldn’t want to admit it either. Now I can’t even remember the dude’s name. He was supposed to be a beacon of hope for dwarf actors who wanted serious roles, and the role became a joke.
It was supposed to be 10. They crammed the ending into season 8 after they decided they could make more money off some other bullshit that ended up flopping. That’s why the writing felt forced and the acting/production was shit and none of S8 made sense.
Instead it was destroyed by two greedy fucks rushing the ending two seasons early so they could move on to their next cash grab flop!
it just takes familiarity. In grad school we had a checklist on what to look for when reading. turned it from a slog to a scavenger hunt.
I can’t remember the exact list but it was something like: what’s the title, what’s the purpose, what’s the question, what’s the prior research, what’s the methodology, what’s the data, what’s the conclusion, and then finally what’s the abstract. or something, idk, I’ll try to find it but I don’t know you jefe
