What’s that thing called when everyone on a social media platform (hardly matters which one) all post the same sort of thing. It all sounds oh so wonderful, or all so dramatic, everyone claps and cheers and thumbs up or whatever. What’s that thing called? There’s a term for it hmmm 🧐
echo chambers?
@prologic@twtxt.net hmm… it sounds like being stuck in a “Filter bubble”. 🤔
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bingo!
Consequently, users become separated from information that disagrees with their viewpoints, effectively isolating them in their own cultural or ideological bubbles, resulting in a limited and customized view of the world.

- The “Story of my life” (the less serious answer)
- Being “The Black Sheep” from the old tale ? (the serious answer)
