Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.
I mean this is a benefit, I’m just worried that this is going to create a echo chamber, Facebook has the same issue where people just hide post that they don’t agree with which basically makes it so the only content they see is content they agree with and it’s never positive to have only one side of an argument. That’s a big reason of why the US politics system is failing(sorry it’s just the biggest example I can think of) it’s too segregated between the two major parties so nothing can ever get done
I fully agree with this in the terms of removing stuff that doesn’t have to do with the conversation or topic, but I don’t agree on filtering People based off opinion, which is what I’m worried this would cause
By using Lemmy we’re already filtering out certain people and opinions. I personally think that the more control we have over what we see, the better. I don’t think it’s opposing views people want to filter out. It’s the ones having those views and being dicks about it.
