  2. I see far fewer (not none, but definitely fewer) #opinions I #disagree with on here, compared to the before place.

    Contrary to a
    #belief I used to hold a long time ago, that does not in any way make me feel like my opinions are #mainstream. I still read #news, I am still very aware of #contradictory opinions to mine existing and I’m definitely aware that on many topics (including not a few I’d consider very important) I am most definitely in the minority. But I feel better, I #stress out about it less, I definitely have far less (basically none) negative experiences around such things happening.

    It’s much easier to either not engage at all or at the very least engage in a much more polite and constructive way with differing opinions when there isn’t an overwhelming amount of them.

    #EchoChambers are obviously bad, but we’ve seen very well that forced continuous cross-pollination of opposing opinions doesn’t really lead to any constructive outcomes or bring us to understand each other better and manage to either find a middle ground or to have one side persuade the other.
