Exactly. When people accuse others of “just wanting an echo chamber” what they are really saying is “I don’t want you to disagree with me.” They falsely think that every viewpoint can be hashed out enough that both sides will come to some middle ground. Middle grounds are not always possible. It’s why friendships end, partnerships are broken, marriages dissolve, and so on. Sometimes we simply, perhaps painfully, disagree. At the point I become resolute enough in my worldview to know it’s the way I want to live, I don’t need to hash out every foundational principle over and over. I’m happy to share my perspectives with those who are curious, and I may be curious enough about someone else’s differing views to learn more about them, but ultimately if someone disagrees they disagree. My life is too short to try and militantly impose my views on a person until they feign agreement, or to allow others to do the same to me, especially strangers online day in and day out. Unfollow, mute, block, whatever, and move on.

Nostr is really more of a bouncy castle than echo chamber
