  • Honestly, I think the exact opposite. Biden should have given Trump a full and complete pardon day one in office. Four years of federal and state prosecution did nothing but keep Trump in the news, day in and day out, and make Republicans more and more committed to defending him. All the FBI accomplished was giving Trump four years of free publicity - the most valuable political donation in American history - and guaranteeing Trump would remain the unquestioned leader of the conservative movement.

    And come on, did anyone actually think an American billionaire would ever see the inside of a prison cell? Trump was guaranteed to get off without consequences. Prosecuting him was meaningless from the start.


  • I disagree. There are tools that admins who want an echo chamber can leverage to help them create one, sure. But that’s true for any social media.

    It’s not as if the Lemmy software has any lack of echo chambers hosted on it.

    And there are also tools that help prevent an echo chamber from forming, if the admins want to avoid it (for example, tracking the accounts that downvote the most comments, disabling karma gain from circlejerk communities).
