The way I look at it is, the more echo chambers you are in and out of, the more complete of a picture you can get as a whole.

Yes, Lemmy is a certain kind of echo chamber. But you can't really be part of an online community these days that doesn't tend toward becoming one.

You just have to diversify to keep the thread. And Lemmy is a very important part of that diversification for me.

We can change anything, and if it makes society a better place then we actually have a moral obligation to try

The problem is that "better" in the context of society is usually subjective. We're talking about a form of censorship, for which change in a positive direction is very complicated at best.

Lawmakers in the US want people to think that ISPs taking responsibility for pirates on their network is a change for a "better" society, for example. Or that net neutrality is unfair to businesses and would result in a "better" society if abolished.

The truth is that it's a ploy to gather unprecedented amounts of data on citizens hiding behind a "won't they think of the children" moral take.

There is no meaningful barrier to porn without changing what makes the internet the internet. There are only old tech illiterate law makers virtue signaling about their children while those children run circles around arbitrary shit like this

A counter argument implies an argument, which you have not made. You're just here declaring to everyone that it's your right to be an asshole. Is that supposed to be a point?

Besides that, according to you, nobody owes you an argument. We can just do what we want. Don't like it? Then don't ask me questions and I won't give you answers that hurt 👍

Nah. You didn't "forget" to add several paragraphs. You wanted to clarify your first two sentences in a way that doesn't make you look like the asshole I called you out for being. Pretty big difference.

But whatever you say

Likewise

You're the one insisting on your own righteousness on a post about tolerance. There's no discussion with you, because it will always end like this.
