We are, but at the same time having parallel communities helps with that
Does it though? Seems to me that we just end up with two echo chamber communities where there’s no cross pollination of ideas and no challenges to our viewpoints. It’s good that people still have a place to interact but self segregation along ideological lines isn’t healthy for anyone over the long term.
As an example it’s why I’m still subscribed to communities over on .ml. They challenge my base reality and expose me to viewpoints that I wouldn’t consider on my own.

I wouldn’t call .ml and hexbear or similar as broadening your horizon, it’s a very insular community that does not allow dissent. And often resemble their conservative counterparts.
How so? I’m having to go out of my way to find and engage with people who have alternate viewpoints & lifestyles because they tend to get pushed out of / banned from “regular” communities. That’s the exact problem being discussed here.
In the broader context of the meme itself people start thinking they are in the majority because they are participating in online communities that have been carefully curated over time to silence anyone who disagrees.
In what way do you have to ‘go out of your way’ to interact with ml or hex?
Are… they not federated with your instance?
If yes, they’re not federated, then you did that to yourself, by joining an instance that doesn’t show their posts and communities to you.
If no, they are federated… then just sort set your feed from local to global, and you’ll see their posts in their communities pop up.
… The entire point of the federation model is to allow each user to determine … basically how much of a bubble they want to be in.
You may determine a whole instance is full of nutcases in a bubble, and avoid them… or you may not think that, and retain the ability to interact with them.
Generally speaking… you can pretty much join whatever instance you want, and in so doing, you are accepting the instances that are federated with your own instance, and rejecting the instances your instance admins have defederated from.
Piefed has a feature where there are collection of communities, so you dont have to chose if you dont want to. Its very nice: https://piefed.social/topic/tech

!world@lemmy.world mods are regularly featured in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com , which leads more and more people to alternatives like !world@quokk.au
Lmao it’s like the ancient https://www.reddit.com/r/KarmaCourt/ except real, i love it
Enjoy, lot of things happening there

So it’s working?

You can always join (or even create) a different instance that federates in a way more aligned with your values.
People say that but if you’re not a tech bro good fucking luck figuring out how the hell to create an instance.

Pifed is amazing besides the lack of apps.
I wonder what percentage of your comments are about pushing people off of LW.
LW mods generally don’t have more than one major community. It’s not a rule, but we have made a bit of an effort to avoid reddit-style supermods.
But yeah, sure, keep pushing an agenda while !world@lemmy.world is featured in YPTB every week:
Same mod on
So what? At least they’re not tankies.
You realize that is a textbook ‘whataboutism’, right?
I think that is their main feature. To cut off the fringes of leftism and socialist ideas so it has a nice round and smooth bottom
Framing the Overton Window.
A feature for some, an anti-feature for others.
