How did you take this as an attack? An echo chamber is the exaggerated idea of hearing only a single opinion, as curated to your own beliefs. It doesn't matter what the belief is.

Obviously no one is 100% in an echo chamber, but it's also obvious that everyone is guilty of confirmation bias; and tend to prefer seeing their own opinions online. I never said anything about my own feed or accused you of being in an echo chamber. I just explained what one was because you implied that it's impossible to be in a liberal echo chamber

I didn’t say it was an attack. I said it was a strawman. Just stop responding to things I didn’t say/putting words in my mouth.

Steve are you alright? You're so defensive against someone who's just explaining a concept you literally asked about

They didn’t give a meaningful response to my pretty clearly rhetorical question… Are you sure you’re OK? Are you just gonna be a patronizing ass? Can you please stop wasting my time playing dumb?

When did I say anything about attacking? Still waiting for you to show me.
