They can't currently block down votes of random people who don't comment. Up votes and down votes don't ultimately make an echo chamber. The actions of the moderation do. And they are deleting all dissent of a very specific type. In order to craft their Echo chamber. It's literally worse than the conservative community on .world.
We've butted heads regularly. And I know you identify a bit with them. Which is why you feel this misguided need to defend them. But respectfully how is that not an echo chamber?
Whatever OP wants the community to be, it is clear that it is not. He shared a clownish opinion and it got rightly blasted instead of everyone circle jerking about how smart believing the nonsense made them.
Obviously such behavior only happens in "tankie" communities. You'd never get someone claiming, for example, that all the dissent being voiced is proof that it's an isolated community with no dissenting voices.
You're arguing effectiveness. Being an ineffective Echo chamber still makes you an echo chamber. And the facts are that they are deleting out specific narratives that they cannot refute but do not want. Definitionally Echo chamber. It doesn't matter if people are still making fools of them. Fools will be fools. But fools can still try to operate in Echo chamber whether or not they do it skillfully.
Your logic leads to the conclusion that literally every system with moderation, no matter its goals or the heavy or light handedness involved, is an echo chamber the moment a moderator deletes a comment they don't like.
That's your logic. Not mine. I was just extrapolating your logic out for you.
Lol, sure you were.
/pats your head/
Poor guy. You gonna be okay?
