If the way to use them and not create a bubble is by not using them... They’re bubbles.Depends on how you use them I suppose.
I don't use twitter at all and Facebook not so much.

Surely you mean Rouges yes? Lolthe worst is when they team up with the edgy rogues.
OK, but the question wasn't how does Zardnaar do things, it was whether those two social media sites create filter bubbles. And they create them to such a great extent that it got their CEOs hauled in front of Congress this week.Depends on how you use them I suppose.

I think there's a lot of value in Twitter, but it also relies on being able to ignore/withstand all the bad that comes along with it.Twitter is absolutely a bubble, and waste of time combined.

Same can be said for much of the internet, and especially social media, but well thats another topic.I think there's a lot of value in Twitter, but it also relies on being able to ignore/withstand all the bad that comes along with it.
r/DnDNext is also where you'll find everyone who began play with 5e. I think it's a mistake to omit it. There's certainly a lot of very poorly considered opinions there, IMX, but it's also the freshest voices.I deliberately avoided r/dndnext because it's aimed at 5E players specifically, but r/rpg might be worth a try if r/dnd isn't productive!
Mabye for kicks, if you find yourself in a mashochistic mood, put the same survey on sites dedicated to each of the various editions. I don't know which ones you'd want to hit for 3e and 4e but Dragonsfoot would be the place to get the old-school response. (though I'd recommend taking out things like advantage-disadvantage which only apply to one edition)r/DnDNext is also where you'll find everyone who began play with 5e.

It’s not enough just to not block stuff you don’t agree with. Algorithms analyze you’re browsing habits and target you with content they predict you will be more likely to engage with. You can reduce the extent to which bubbles form around you, but you can’t prevent it completely.It's a technical pov though yes?
You would more or less have to build your own bubble?
Basically I read stuff I don't agree with and I think I've used block once in about 20 years.

“Browse” here means “use the internet.”Ah I don't really browse just see what others post.

Just for the record, I don't personally think alignment is obsolete, I think it's still a useful shorthand. However, after these poll results, I'm pretty convinced my opinion isn't exactly the majority...It is absolutely iconic to D&D, but is it essential to the feel of D&D? I’d agree with @JEB that it is an element that is deeply associated with D&D, but that is pretty much obsolete. I don’t think the feel of D&D would be all that different without alignment (but I liked 4e, so what do I know?)
Eh, I think posting the poll in nine different Reddits, with one for each incarnation of the game, is as masochistic as I'm willing to get.Mabye for kicks, if you find yourself in a mashochistic mood, put the same survey on sites dedicated to each of the various editions.

First: I mean no offense, but there's legitimately no way that we could get a "general public" poll that would mean a dang thing. You'd need an actual, professional polling agency, you'd need to completely redesign the poll to avoid various sources of unintentional bias, and you'd need an active sampling method that got a genuinely representative sample of D&D players, which is going to be extremely hard to do. These polls, and the proposed Reddit stuff, are literally the best we will ever get our hands on, because it's unlikely that even WotC itself can do all that much better, apart from total number of people spoken to. I doubt WotC has conducted a single truly serious poll of their D&D fans in the past decade. (The Magic team handles these things quite differently, from what I've seen, with the whole psychographic profiles and all.)I'd say alignment is pretty iconic to D&D myself. They make memes about it. I'd venture out to the general public because these forums represent the vocal minority. That minority has a lot more power now than it did even 5 years ago. Let's see what the public really has to say?

Whether it’s either of those is up to the user.Twitter is absolutely a bubble, and waste of time combined.
