But it always has, Twitter hasn’t gotten bigger “people have gotten tired of echo chambers” would imply movement from echo chambers to places where people are together. Where’s the movement. I think _more_ people are opting for echo chambers than did at the hay day of the Internet, but not as many as you would think.

So I wouldn’t say, “people are tired of echo chambers” I would say, “people are interested in echo chambers, but not as many as first thought”.

But of course, none of these are true echo chambers, and this is in response to Nate Silver saying that he was glad that the far left is gone from Twitter, so everyone has a different definition of their sort of spectrum of “this is a different opinion” and “this is spam”. Is “I don’t want to be in the nazi bar” and “I don’t want bad faith leftists in my social media” a substantively different argument?

But also, I dunno, I’m on blue sky and not Twitter because I don’t tend to enjoy being in the “place where it’s happening”. It’s not an echo chamber to me, just smaller, I hate obnoxious leftists too.
