Will the Fediverse create an even bigger gap between political views? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] ElkanNixed@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes of course I knew there was always a gap, but the last decade or so it feels like its getting bigger and bigger, also because of social media. Same with Truth Social, there probably only "right wingers" there agreeing on each other's opinions without needing a discussion.

Yeah I wholeheartedly agree on that, and I am very happy that there are alternatives like this getting more traction.

Will the Fediverse create an even bigger gap between political views? (programming.dev)
 

As the title suggests, now that more people are moving from Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and whatnot towards platforms on Fediverse and Bluesky, will that not create an even bigger split between political views? Most people who are not afraid of big tech and its influence will probably stay there.

We were already not always able to communicate and discuss certain topics as normal human beings, but now we probably won't even see each other's posts.

What do you think?

The fact that The Fediverse apps are compatible with each other is amazing. This in theory means that one can create your own Fediverse app as long as its compliant to the specifications, right? For example, we could create a LinkedIn clone or something similar?

I recently started learning to play guitar and am addicted to it. Really keeps you in the moment and makes your forget the current state of the world while playing, at least for a bit.
