Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person or their instance. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on. Keep on-topic
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Lol, willfully ignorant and yet the only person who wants to address the actual topic? Even though that was your original dispute.......
I have addressed the topic, you've tried to move the goalposts and I haven't let you.
Feel free to continue to flail.
Your original statement was that ml or hex wouldn't address the topic because it would be hypocritical. I am someone who frequents those subs, I am addressing the topic. How am I being hypothetical?
You listed anecdotal statements you claim others have made that you claim make them hypocritical, but you haven't addressed this topic or my response. You continue to just argue with strawmen instead of the person in front of you.
Here's the rhetorical technique used to move the goalposts:
A comment predicting general avoidance of a certain cognitive dissonance in a community.
A reply then states, here I am, talking about it, thus you are wrong.
The trick is a categorical blurring by shifting the discussion about general behaviour of a group to that of one individual who implies that they are a sufficient representative of that community to settle the argument.
C'mon, they were talking about the tenor of conversation in an echo chamber. Pay attention.
Aka making an unsupported assumption.
The important distinction is that I am willing to address the validity of accusation of hypocrisy from my own perspective. I didn't just state here I am therefore you are wrong. I already made a general statement on this thread, and invited a person to explain their reasoning.
The perceived behaviour of a group described by an echo chamber*
I can only give my perspective and the anecdotal accounts of what I have witnessed while engaging with the group. Just as they can only give their perspective and anecdotal accounts of their interactions. The difference is that I am willing to discuss my perspective while they have only relied on anecdotes.
Can't tell if you are being self aware and acknowledging your participation in an echo chamber or making an accusation......
Yes this is exactly why I stated I don't have the patience to discuss this with you. Your type loves to suggest that in order to prove my point I need to supply an essays worth of cited instances of hypocrisy across a multitude of posts. I don't care nearly enough about proving myself right as you do proving me wrong, especially considering you don't read posts with .ml or hexbear user interaction in the first place.
You'll bend over backwards defending these hypocrites after proving you've done nothing to actually inform yourself on their actions within many different threads. Somehow you've convinced yourself this is an echo chamber, despite hexbear being the definitive echo chamber spawned from /r/chapostraphouse rejects. Not only that, they've been defederated by how many different sites at this point?
Inb4 more willfull ignorance proving that this is, indeed, a waste of my time.
Lol, you could have just explained your reasoning behind why you think it would be hypocritical in the time you took to write that. You are making a lot of assumptions and excuses to avoid the topic you brought up in the first place.
Mmk, you can spin about it with whoever you've been talking about this interaction with.
If only there was anything to talk about.....
Oh yes I'm sure there's nothing to talk about, that's why your responses have been getting longer and longer.
With the exception of this one.
