> HN may be an echo chamber but it is a pretty big one with a lot of voices in it.

The echo chamber effect on HN is far worse than any comparable site, it's just not as obvious because there's zero transparency.

At least there are tons of 3rd party sites that allow us to see censorship in real time on Reddit. No such thing exists for HN.

I have no sympathy for the moderators here. I believe they moderate very arbitrarily and are accountable to no one.

I wonder if you're conflating that actions of the moderators with downvoting done by readers?

Which metrics are you using the gauge the echo chamber effect, since we don't have third-party tools to gauge how much is purportedly being censored?

Do you know what an echo chamber is? Both of those actions lead to the same result.
