>Is HN becoming more of an "echo chamber"?
My previous account had people following me to downvote me and the occasional threats. This has much more to do with topics that you're not allowed to criticize. They would even follow to unrelated subjects. Got flagged constantly for no valid reason.
Created new account, no problem anymore.
>2. If yes[2], how big of an "echo chamber" you think HN has become (or is becoming)?
I thought so, but it would seem it's really just 1 main topic. this one side considers this an extinction event and therefore anyone who criticizes their movement is literally killing them.
>How wide-spread is this issue? Is it limited to certain topics only? If yes, what are those topics?
New one seems to have been created basically a day ago. Canada declared martial law in order to end peaceful protests. The far left commie antifa folks were even shocked and freaked out. Obviously right-wing disagree as well.
The problem is that Trudeau and the propaganda media have been smearing the protests as Nazis, Racists, Sexists, etc. It's to the point that Bill Maher started comparing Trudeau to Hitler. Then days after Bill Maher said this, he misuses the martial law emergency act. Worse yet, the wording in his speech mirrored Hitler's speech in 1933.
I dont think Trudeau is planning to be Hitler, I think he's only consuming the propaganda that his own 'government accredited media' is putting out.
The problem is... so is so many other people falling for this propaganda. Those people are calling on the police to break up the peaceful protests. Here we are though, first time during my life time ever being under martial law.
I have never invested in crypto before but sure as shit am now.
