Are you saying this would create less of an echo chamber?

it would become an echo chamber.

Won't that just turn echo chambers into even bigger echo chambers?

what you are suggesting would make the problem of echo chamber (bubble) worse than it is today!

That sounds like it would be great at creating echo chambers.

Would you say your proposal contributes to shutting off valid criticism and further reinforces echo chambers?

It will create echo chambers of similar views.

Improved echo chamber?

Doesn't that just create echo-chambers?

Doesn’t that just create echo chambers?

spazx | karma 599 | avg karma 10.15 · | 2019-11-13 16:42:26+00:00

Additionally, isn't this just a call to create another echo chamber?

dinkumthinkum | karma | avg karma · | 2014-03-22 01:37:16+00:00

um ... ok. But the thing is I don't think this necessary so I would like some way for the echo chamber to not hold. Obviously, the ideal would be to not have the restriction. :)

That's just about adding more people to your echo chamber though isn't it?

concordDance | karma 4533 | avg karma 1.73 · | 2020-06-27 09:22:37+00:00

It would stop amplifying them.

Yes, you'd get natural echo chambers of the type we've had since antiquity, but not the hugely accelerated toxic meme spread enabled by news feeds.

That sounds more interesting than what it's going to become: a massive collection of literal echo chambers.

An echo chamber?

EchoAce | karma 60 | avg karma 2.31 · | 2016-11-12 06:06:42+00:00

Couldn't this simply exacerbate the very problem of echo chambers in social media?

migueldeicaza | karma 1426 | avg karma 10.8 · | 2015-04-01 16:51:41+00:00

Not really.

The echo chamber is only an issue if you isolate everything. But given the hundreds of thousands of disparate communities, blocking one or two, or even dozens of groups does not amount to much towards creating an echo chamber.

Echo chamber?

BrainInAJar | karma 881 | avg karma 1.93 · | 2012-01-10 10:20:12

I reject your premise.

Further segregating the echo chamber of the internet is not a good thing.
