    If someone states a valid argument that you disagree with, you believe it should be sent to the bottom of the comments? Sounds like the reinforcement of a hive mind, and therefore Lemmy will become just another echo chamber.

    Should there be another mechanism to show both? Probably.

      I thought that default ranking in Lemmy was based on activity, not votes. I could have misunderstood that, though.

      I don’t know, man. Denying the hive it’s just delusional. The best honey is right in the middle; rogue drones just die early. Come, join the beautiful hexagonal map-dance and partake in the nectar.

      Anyway, Lemmy’s already an echo chamber; it’s just enforced at the instance level.

        Hexagon is the bestagon. Hahaha…I like your hive response.

        I’m using the Sync app for Lemmy. It looks like comments are ordered by points/voting and there doesn’t appear to be a way to sort by activity. Hot/new/top/old are the options.

        I don’t deny that there will always be an element of echo chamber but I’d prefer it to be as balanced as possible.

        Maybe because I’m using an app instead of visiting an instance website and have my default view set to subscribed communities that I’m not seeing an instance echo chamber. Lemmy just appears to be more programming/Linux/self host/home lab than anything else at the moment.

          I’m using Voyager, but that’s a good point: clients are free to sort the data however they like.

          To be accurate, I think what I heard was that the “front page” feed was populated by activity, not votes.

          As per the echo chamber, consider hosts like hexabear, or even my own instance, which has a strong left-leaning flavor. I joined my instance because it’s regionally local, not because of the politics, but I think it’s run by - and, at least initially, populated by - 2A socialists: most members appeared to members of a socialist gun club in Wisconsin (or Illinois?). And Democrat members that try to post on Hexabear get the shit beaten out of them, metaphorically. Votes, IMO, are a much gentler tool for voicing approval or disapproval than vitriolic abuse in comments.
