So just another polarized echo chamber

No, not like reddit for a very important reason: posts counter to the prevailing opinions of the board can still be made and seen.

On reddit, what you can see is determined by upvotes and downvotes rather than most recent comments, so posts that go against the grain get downvoted quickly until they’re no longer visible. Unless you have the right ratio of upvotes to downvotes on your posts, they inhibit your ability to make more posts or comment on others’ posts.

So, those who repeat the board’s narrative can post as much as they want, with their posts remaining at the top, while those who run counter to that narrative are not allowed to post frequently and have their posts disappear.

In addition, reddit also employs bots to maintain the right ratio of upvotes/downvotes on controversial issues, and their mods are far far more vigilant at rooting out and banning “wrong think”ing posters.

So, no, TD is not at all like Reddit.
