Opinion on filter bubbles 

Honestly, I've recently noticed how much I'm stuck in this LGBTQ+ filter bubble, and I'm not sure if that is a good thing. Yes, I do get tons of positivity from the people around me, but then... I don't see many other opinions anymore. I've in the past been pretty successful in bursting this bubble on twitter (well, not this specific bubble), but I'm honestly not sure if I want to. It feels somewhat good to have your own opinions confirmed over and over again, [1]

but I think it's also quite dangerous. I feel like it's less likely to be radicalized within this LGBTQ+ "echo chamber", but then... I really have no way of judging how extreme my opinions are from inside here, where a lot of people share these opinions.
I feel like I should expose myself to other opinions as well, but I don't know where to start, especially since I now think differently of certain groups online and IRL...
Honestly I have no idea what to do. As usual.[2]

Really, if you people know what I could do to burst my filter bubble without getting depressed about how bad/stupid some people are online; and how these people ruin the fun for everybody... Please tell me.

An option for me would also be to just get off social media for some time (I do it unintentionally all the time anyways), but that probably wouldn't affect my mindset that much. [3]
