Yknow this is actually great timing bc I’ve had a post brewing for weeks about how the infrastructure of Twitter and Reddit both encourage echo chambers but in opposite directions. Bc quote tweet dunking and the character limit on Twitter are fine tuned to produce thought-terminating cliches and present every argument as solved before it even reaches your timeline, while the reddit comments-and-upvotes model serves to silence dissenting voices and provide endless elaboration to the point that someone can be radicalized within the space of a single post. And how tumblr is kind of a happy medium between those. Whoops!
