You’re right that echo chambers are unavoidable, but dismissing balance as chaos ignores the nuance. The current system already feeds division, so why not explore tools that nudge users toward diverse perspectives without forcing them? Autonomy doesn’t have to mean isolation—it can coexist with thoughtful design that fosters understanding instead of entrenching biases.

Rejecting balance outright feels like surrendering to the status quo.

Matrix and XMPP are federated but not part of the Fediverse, which revolves around ActivityPub. While they share the principle of decentralization, the Fediverse specifically connects platforms like Mastodon or Lemmy via ActivityPub. Promoting a Matrix room in Lemmy communities might align with shared values but doesn’t make Matrix part of the Fediverse. Bridging these ecosystems is possible but not inherent.

A monumental win for repair warriors; corporate gatekeeping faces a well-deserved reckoning.
