for such people who want to live inside their echo chamber, I support their right to do so.
My point is that I don’t think the software should be doing this stuff. Marking users and instances is akin to a kind of censorship on those instances. Censorship is the job of the instance, not the software. Collapsing comments at a certain level is again a kind of censorship that encourages mob thinking and hides any dissident opinion (so I find it a bit funny that you say it helps to include “more complex and nuanced views”; in my opinion, it would seem to do the opposite of that).
Anyways that’s just my take on it, I don’t really have the patience to write out a 10 paragraph response and I don’t need to because I use what I prefer and you can use what you prefer, fediverse is great like that.
