I got banned from there when they made a stickied post saying, basically, "this is not an echo chamber, it's just a place where we only want to hear what we like" and I replied "you just described an echo chamber."

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
I'm sure that got removed, as you had no flair, so they couldn't confirm you had the correct opinions for their not-an-echochamber.
An echo chamber technically needs to amplify and distort input to meet the criticism.
Yeah exactly! I totally agree with you! Isn't it awesome being so awesome!!
The rabble agreeing with everything is basically that. To be completely honest lemmy is very echo-ey as well. Except most of us are just agreeing that these lunatics are indeed irrational and completely brainwashed to the point of literally harming themselves, their families and society.
I don't like this definition of echo chamber as any group with similar opinions. If those opinions are based on facts and expert advice I don't think it applies anymore. To me an echo chamber in the dangerous sense is when people have a dangerous or uninformed consensus because they don't let facts or advice from outside reach them. That's very different than people with similar opinions finding each other. The latter is just how humans are.
Fascists gonna fascist.

Reality is hostile to conservative opinions.
I love when conservatives pull the "you're not being very tolerant" to me. BITCH I NEVER SAID I TOLERATED STUPID also tolerance of nazis is how you get more nazis.

This post should be pinned on some Wall of Shame.
why censor the usernames? they posted it to the Internet or their own volition
And it's pseudo anon anyway/unreliable info anyway
Pussy liberals is why. "Oh no! We must not dox these people! That would not be fair!"
Fuck. Them. I'm done playing fair. Go after every one of them, tooth and nail, every way you can.
You got downvoted but I agree, problem with ppl like this is that they never get a reality check to the head so they keep on being retards lol
Not to mention that this is Reddit, none of them have their real names as profile names
Nazis gonna not see.
NOT SEE, Carl!
r/Conservative delenda est
And now they're apparently starting to set up shop on Lemmy too. Before I blocked it, I saw they're on their best behaviour too. But mark my words, once the dating and flirting period is over, their shoes are going to come off and their feet are going to be up on the table.
I would've hoped that by now everyone would've learnt their lesson to never trust or listen to these people again. They flat out lie when they're talking about things like 'freedom' and once they're in power, they serve themselves and fuck over everyone else in society. And their leaders, that they don't mind associating with and supporting are a bunch of inbred kiddie fiddlers and have been since long before Trump. And yet here we are again, letting them have a seat at the table.
These people cannot be fucking trusted. And I'm willing to bet that they're going to be a source of a lot of downvote trolling too, in queer communities and women-centric communities.
Relax. This is just the internet. You're taking trolls for real persons.
Which community? One of them is now under new management and turned satirical
Could be one of those that I saw this morning, I guess. In world. It was a 'reasonable' post complaining about Trump. I just block them as I see them now tbh. Even the_donald started as satire.
The whole idea is that it does not turn into another the_Donald, but I perfectly understand your caution. There's still users trying to post "in earnest" (according to them at least), but they get ratio'd so it's not as bad as you might think.
Anyway, not here to tell you what to block and what not, but I figured you might be interested in the story that it went from a snowflake safe space to a satirical meme community :)
i blocked conservative instance on lemmy and on reddit,b ecause i keep seeing it, dont want to see it or engage it. and reddit was actively pushing the sub to the front. i suspect on lemmy , without russian bots riling them out, they will have less of an impact than on reddit, its well known the trolls from the farms control the subs there.
Why would you have your default as sort by controversial?
It's the juiciest content. But not recommended for people susceptible to rageboners or rage bait as fun as it can be. It's like a hard drug, gotta keep usage in check.
The mods set it as the default for the subreddit in an attempt to combat brigading.
it seems all the large subs are doing that now, conservative is just banning any dissenting opinion, full stop. but ive seen an increase in filtering from other subs.
Ultimate freedom
