No matter which social network you're on, following a diverse group of people helps you taking a peek at the other side of your personal filter bubble.
You don't have to agree with everything and everyone, but please, at least try to listen to people and their opinions.
It will help you appreciate your own life, and may just make you a little wiser.
@maloki
same here!
I'm wondering how to support this by software design.
Since there is the federated timeline, ones stream is just one click away from diversity.
Yet I don't like to use it much in it's *current* design.
What is bothering me, that it's difficult to find, what I'm wanting to listen the most to. And it is, what has a significant importance to the one posting it. I want to listen to their opinion on things that really matters to them...1/

@maloki
...but I don't want to listen to everything. I also obvious can't.
Which in it's current design leads towards listening to those that write 'the most' or being more reboosted, will be the once drawing my attention.
I've shared here some thoughts how this could be changed:

@fribbledom I agree.👍
@fribbledom public timeline?
@veer66 Agreed, even though it's a feature that's rather Mastodon specific. Following diverse people and subjects on Twitter already requires you to approach it with a more diverse mindset.
@Michcioperz I would agree by now. Sorry, I'm still fresh on here and learning 😆
@fribbledom I see.
I'm learning Japanese and Spanish for Duolingo. I wish I can their toots someday.
@fribbledom
Thanks for the reminder! While being a goal of mine, I absolutely should do that more
Thanks, but I feel great in my filter bubble ;-)
@fribbledom even that monolithic stubborn mind of my self has finally got that (or: disagreeing to everlasting disagreeing...)
@fribbledom That's exactly on point. And this is why I only worry for one thing for mastodon - how much of censorship it'll be put on it by moderators. Hopefully it'll stay as free as it can.
@fribbledom
Agree to that
@fribbledom Exactly
@fribbledom strongly disagree
@fribbledom this is so true!
I've learnt so much since I started diversifying my follows.
