      I disagree. There are tools that admins who want an echo chamber can leverage to help them create one, sure. But that’s true for any social media.

      It’s not as if the Lemmy software has any lack of echo chambers hosted on it.

      And there are also tools that help prevent an echo chamber from forming, if the admins want to avoid it (for example, tracking the accounts that downvote the most comments, disabling karma gain from circlejerk communities).

        Dude there’s a built in social credit system that aims to embarrass or discredit people for having been downvoted too much, that’s very different than an admin building their own tools to create that kind of echo chamber, they hand these tools out to everyone on a silver platter. They’re on by default, literally every piefed server started with the default settings will have these. It’s very different than specific admins choosing to create a platform like that with integrations. This type of social credit system is built right in and on by default, do you not see how this is a problem?
