I want to crosspost this here because I had to do quite a bit of reading to put this together (both now and when I analyzed claims of echo chambers in the past)

On "Echo Chambers"

I think I’ve argued against this in many threads, and against many users. People come and say there is an echo chamber, then I scroll back up and put all the comments into a few simple buckets (support the supposed echo chamber position, against the supposed echo chamber position, unrelated to) and find that by count posts or users presenting an opinion, the echo chamber accusation just isn’t supported. I’m going through my own post archive for instances of “echo chamber” and finding the follo…

If you complain the BBS is an echo chamber, you might have a good reason to do so, but I definitely have a good reason - other things being equal - to put even money on self-important rather than keen observer.
