i.e. create a personal bubble to avoid being exposed to alternative points of view. We’ve seen how well that has been working out.

I enjoy forums, so I prioritize spam filtering to preserve signal to noise. Others may prefer to read every cialis ad. I think these two extremes and everyone in between can coexist on the same forum, but in order to do so it helps to have adequately tuned filters customizable on a personal level.

I was primarily motivated to do this by repetitive commentary which is indistinguishable from bot content, and I continue to be motivated by this.

Curating your news is part of healthy media consumption. You literally connect consume all news. There is too much, and once you find an unreliable source, its generally best avoided.

I agree with you. I simply took umbrage with the characterization of other human beings with different points of view as “bots”.

It’s really no different than the cringy characterization of other humans as “NPCs” often spouted by children. That thinking indicates a sort of complex that is very off-putting.

Given that, this person would likely benefit from exposure to alternative viewpoints instead of further insulating themselves.
