  You can troll on tumblr and write criticism too. Many tumblr users do just that. You can also create echo chambers and circlejerks in Reddit too. /r/tumblrinaction and /r/kotakuinaction for example.

  > Reddit on the other hand will subject your posts to criticisms and possible trolls. Combined with the bandwagon effect of downvotes in many (not all) subreddits, this has the same filter-bubble effect, just by virtue of pushing differently-minded people out (either to seek other subreddits, or off the site altogether). Just look at /r/politics and you'll see this in full force - with a few exceptions, almost any post expressing a somewhat conservative perspective is downvoted massively. This is one of the reason Reddit implemented [score hidden], which seems to have helped somewhat, but not entirely. > Radicals tend not to like people disagreeing with them. This isn't true only "radicals" - it's true everywhere. And I don't think it's the userbase that's different; it's the structure around it that makes the difference. In other words, the same people will group themselves differently on Tumblr and Reddit, even if they use both sites.
