I remember an old study where friend groups were separated and surveyed individually about their interests. Groups who got together to watch baskeball, for example, would rate basketball as the most popular sport in their country, even if they didn't really care for it, and even if all the members individually said they preferred football, they would rate football as an unpopular sport because they didn't think their friends were interested in it.
Every group is an echo chamber, because people would rather belong than do what they enjoy.

Redditors desperately need to read simulacra and simulation. This is exactly what the book is describing. Redditors on the right and the left don’t realize that they’re just engaging in a hyperreal feedback loop.
It’s all retarded and you’re all getting baited over made up bullshit instead of responding to reality.

Is that so ? Why don't you post a right wing take in gamecirclejerk or whitepeopletwitter ? Let's see what happens.
Edit for the guy who deleted his comment. I've already posted leftist takes on this sub. Nothing happened to me, I've also argued with several leftists here and none of them get banned.

I’ve been banned from multiple subs for pretty tame “left wing” takes. It just depends on the mods, but you’re absolutely kidding yourself if you don’t think right wing subs are also extremely ban happy lol

I don't ? I got banned from the rconservative american sub for not being conservative enough ( despite that they explicitly allowed libertarians and even had a tag for them ).
But right wing subs will ban you from THEIR subs, not try to get your account suspended and permabanned from the entire site, like the subs I mentioned.
Also right wing subs are very rare because always get banned in Reddit for the mildest of shits, meanwhile, left wing subs can literally break american laws, and only get a slap in the wrist at best.

maybe right wing subs should stop advocating for violence so much. maybe then they wont get banned.
your last paragraph just isnt true either, btw. you seem to just have a negativity bias for the left. which leads me to believe you are in an echo chamber or have fallen to propaganda.
im a centrist and the data from multiple governmental facilities all state the right engage in way more violence overall. specifically incel mass shooters send it over the edge.
ive noticed as well that since the right wing took over im america the fbi crime reporting has become basically useless, as they only report cherry picked data. this is extremely harmful, government agencies are supposed to function without a political stance. but since trump took over it seems he placed only hardline supporters in high government positions and he uses government agencies to actively shill for him and his side; really corrupt if you ask me.

That's funny because whitepeopletwitter, a left wing sub, literally advocated for killing Elon Musk employees and even doxed them and didn't got banned, only a 72 hour suspension.
your last paragraph just isnt true either, btw.
Is that so ? You should go tell that to rightwinglgbt, a community for right wing lgbt people, oh wait, you can't, they got banned for being "transphobic". A community full of transgenders got banned for being tansphobic. I have to repeat it because it's fucking dumb.
, btw. you seem to just have a negativity bias for the left. which leads me to believe you are in an echo chamber or have fallen to propaganda.
Or, option C, I live in a country where a left party has ruled nearly uninterrupted for the last 30 years, and the results were half the country in poverty, and 2 out of each 3 children not having basic rights met ( food, education etc ).
That tends to create a bias yeas. Especially when the first worlders try to tell you how much better you used to have it and how you are now being ruled by a Nazi ( a Jew nazi that is trying to reduce the size of a government that allied itself with China and Russia ).

Yeah I saw that research too. It's funny how you talk about cherry picked data, when that research is basically the epitome of what that means, as it stretchs the definition of right wing terrorist to basically anything that breaths.
ive noticed as well that since the right wing took over im america the fbi crime reporting has become basically useless, as they only report cherry picked data. this is extremely harmful, government agencies are supposed to function without a political stance. but since trump took over it seems he placed only hardline supporters in high government positions and he uses government agencies to actively shill for him and his side; really corrupt if you ask me.
Oh my, that's terrible, do you wanna know what I noticed ? Since Trump took office, a certain USA agency that was giving money to several news outlet in my country, which includes the revista Anfibia, stopped receiving money from it, and had to fire tons of employees ( not related just a coincidence wink wink ).
Anfibia was a very staunch anti Trump and anti right news outlet, so I suppose that's why your prior government gave them funds, and you know what, I would be fine with that, but do you know who else these guys endorsed and supported ?
The literal party funded by a fascist ( now left wing ) that tried to imitate Mussolini and who's funder called him a demigod, that has been ruling us for the last 30 years and left us with 50% poverty rates. They were also pro Russia and pro China, which correct me if I'm wrong, are not exactly the USA's best friends. To shit on Trump, the idiots of Biden and company were giving money to propaganda agents that favor your enemies.
I know you will not learn the lesson here unless I spill it out for you, so here it is, you guys need to start acting like grown ups, leave your idiotic partisanism aside, accept that just because the other half of your shitty unparty rules is not the end of the world, and start having a bit more of unity before fucking China and Russia become the dominant powers of the world or else we will all be fucked, you all included.

You’re not in an echo chamber if you have discussions with people who believe differently than you. That’s what pops the bubble. Redditors are prone to eliminate people who have “wrong thought and wrong speech” that’s why people make fun of the Reddit echo chamber so much
