People often throw around “echo chamber” to mean “political monoculture,” but that isn’t quite right.
Definitionally, an echo chamber is just a closed system that doesn’t accept new information.
A platform that stifles links is much closer to an echo chamber than a platform that welcomes them.

Remember, the road to the empty tomb passed through authoritarian regimes, power hungry politicians, religious hypocrisy and complicity with state sanctioned violence, cruelty, and seemingly shattered dreams….
But the midnight of earth’s cruelties could not stop heaven’s dawn from coming.
