I still the info bubble thing to be bullshit. People hung out in places they liked in meatspace and lived in information bubbles before the internet. Its called a group of friends. If somone was well read they would have a nuanced view and most people depended on having a few noteworthy people to ask about complicated things. Open to everything on the internet means rooting around in a pile of shit at this point and the more you cut the shit away the easier it will be to find the rare gem.
thats my point. they should do just like they did in meatspace when online. No one hung with a jerk who came into a discussion with insults or such. Blocking is like avoiding someone annoying and following is like regularly haning out with friends and subscribing is like a place you regularly went to.
… and a tendency, even on Fedi, of surrounding oneself in an information bubble
