I think we need to either redefine safe spaces, change people’s expectations of them, or get rid of them entirely.

This is a very extreme example. I’m saying that more nuanced discussion and differences in views from within a community struggle in safe spaces.
I understand the concept. I’m saying that this way of working creates echo chambers.
Unfortunately, a lot of these safe spaces become echo chambers. People don’t want to have their views challenged or try to see things from other perspectives. Many attempts at constructive dissent as mentioned in this post are discouraged and are generally unwelcome.

dupeGuru is a tool to find duplicate files on your computer. It can scan either filenames or contents. The filename scan features a fuzzy matching algorithm that can find duplicate filenames even when they are not exactly the same. dupeGuru runs on Mac OS X and Linux.
dupeGuru is good with pictures. It has a special Picture mode that can scan pictures fuzzily, allowing you to find pictures that are similar, but not exactly the same

Um, because they already have a clear agenda? They could be likely to be selective with their sources, not report on things that go against their view, etc.
I read the article and I encourage you to do the same if you did not already.
I read the article, thank you.

I don’t think this is yet possible in the Lemmy protocol itself.

Who said anything about challenging views all or most of the time?
The issue with constructive dissent is that if someone perceives an initial idea as bad, it cannot be dismissed or criticised; it has to be built on. Do we want things to be built on flawed foundations? We should be able to say “no” without being cast out from our own community.
