Sure, but fwiw the HN echo chamber is organic. People choose to interact with people who have similar opinions, as they have since forever.

In contrast, the echo chamber on HN, Tiktok, FB, etc is architected specifically to drive engagement. You are shown more of the content that you react to, so that you won't leave.

actually, much more diverse because everyone is in the same forum rather than being divided into "subreddits"

Nah. Hacker News has a diversity of views! In this very thread, you can see a robust debate between

1) people who want to ban kids from social media, and

2) people who want to ban everyone from social media.

See? HN captures the full range of legitimate perspectives on technology.
