btw "echo chamber" is generally perceived as disparaging, so it's not weird people wouldn't be impressed by that. and feigning victimhood after antagonizing people is pretty gauche.
- na85 9y agoIt was intended to be disparaging: one of my major beefs with this community is the massive culture of groupthink and aggressive self reinforcement/adulation.
- abiox 9y ago> It was intended to be disparaging and thus your thesis of 'HN doesn't like to be reminded' falls to the simpler explanation of 'trashtalk usually gets downvoted'.
- na85 9y agoPerhaps. I prefer to see it as the down votes reaffirming that I am correct.
- gsich 9y agoyou are correct. if people get triggered by someone using the word "echo chamber" they are probably in one. It's hard to admit, I know.
- abiox 9y agowhat do you mean by "get triggered"? if someone downvotes trashtalk, does it necessarily mean they "got triggered"? are there other explanations?
- gsich 9y agoYes. Because it wasn't trashtalk. HN in generel seems (from what I observe) like a place that uses fancy apps for communication instead of emails. So if someone claims that HN doesn't like emails and get downvoted for that, they got triggered.
