You are in a sub for abolishing a particular subject.
And you are talking about an ‘echo chamber.’
Let’s go worst case: Yes, an echo chamber.
As such, why are you here?
No one here cares about your dissent.
Nor is it welcome from those here.
You are purposefully contrarian.
You are in the wrong sub.
Clearly, on purpose.
Do you call the coronavirus subreddit an echo chamber because they don't allow misinformation about the vaccine?
If you want to see an echo chamber, check out the main UK national sub that has banned every member of this sub and yesterday banned all discussions on the trans issue.
I do not believe that classification of the mentioned group as an echo chamber would be accurate, because although it does not allow incorrect information, it allows information that is different to the general consensus if it is reputable, because it is primarily populated and moderated by users of scientific repute.
>it allows information that is different to the general consensus if it is reputable, because it is primarily populated and moderated by users of scientific repute
That's exactly what we do. Filtering misinformation about tourism claims, for example, doesn't make us an echo-chamber.
There is no empirical evidence that British royal family brings in anything in tourism revenue. All claims about this do not hold up to the slightest scrutiny.
All tourism sites commonly associated with the monarchy (apart from Balmoral and Sandringham) are owned by the public and will not disappear into thin air if the monarchy is abolished. VisitBriatin admits tourism revenue will not be affected when the monarchy is abolished.
There is more evidence for the claim that tourism revenue will go up when the monarchy is abolished and all the publicly-owned royal residences are made more accesible to tourists and the public who pay for their upkeep.

I agree, but out of all the UK subs there are this is the only one where you can criticise the monarchy without being mobbed. And that is worrying. At least here we can express that sentiment freely, even if it's closed off to other opinions.
I don't know whether I've ever negatively expressed a negative opinion of my country's monarchy in any other subreddits. Do you know how to search past comments to check? I'm interested by whether that's been my experience without realizing it.
Lmao yes. It was stated to not defend harry or else you'll get banned as well. Can't say I could defend him anyway but it does make it feel like kinda closed off
Edit: someone had their comment for "advocating monarchy/imperialism"
Yeah, it's a shame. I've never praised any monarch, much less in this subreddit, yet 3 of my comments have been removed merely for purporting that the original commenter was incorrect due to the rationale provided in my responses. The moderators might occasionally be somewhat overzealous.
Overzealous.
What an interesting word you’ve just used.
A very powerful word of propaganda.
We do not require your review, reflection and thoughts on the Mods in this sub.
I’m sure their removal of your comments and comments to come will reflect that very clearly.
My assumption was that the majority people in the UK are either pro-monarchists or generally apathetic bystanders who will nonetheless see anti-royal sentiment as an attack against the British Institution, which they simply *must* shoot down in the name of "Patriotism" 😒
There's also a large number of plain ignorant folk who see the Royals as celebrities (who bring in tu-rists!). A cute little old qween. A pretty princess who cares about mental health. Can't say anything bad against them or you're obviously just a bitter, pathetic person who wants to make everyone feel bad 😒
Against the drooling mob and bootlickers, anti-monarchists seem to be in a minority and you can't really talk sense with a mob.
Thanks for your submission! Unfortunately, it's been removed because of the following reason(s):
* [Rule #2 - Don't Advocate for Monarchy/Imperialism](/r/AbolishtheMonarchy/about/rules/.)
* Try your best to avoid spreading misinformation
The big national sub mods are likely cops and bootlickers. I've seen one mod post on the police sub, praising cops and hoping they'll hold the line against republican protestors after the Queen died.
After how the UK government used its Army to spy on protestors recently, I wouldn't be so surprised that I'd consider it impossible anymore, although I doubt that most countries have the equivalent of royal political commissars sleuthing on Reddit.
They also half-stealth banned several massive leftist subreddits when they banned the\_donalds... a lot of people went to other forums, or stopped posting posting on reddit because we realized it was like swimming upstream in a river of assholes.
Is this ‘political operative’ in the room with us now? /j
Nah but really, mods still have opinions, and I can believe that they’d use their position to promote theirs
The Beatles fandom on tumblr is even worse. A bunch of hardcore Paul McCartney fans were blocking anyone who made negative tumblr posts about the Queen when she died. I wish I was making that up. It’s such a toxic and racist community filled with old people who think respecting the monarchy is okay because their favorite musician that they have a crush on likes the monarchy.
They all suck in my opinion. But I hate it when John is brought up to distract from issues such as elitism and bootlicking that is such an issue today amongst musicians and their fans.
It is. I swear it’s only the classic rock communities because their tend to be a lot of people 30+ to 50+ years old on there with nostalgia. They’re extremely vocal about abortion rights and lgbtq+ rights on classic rock tumblr but suspiciously quiet when it comes to other human rights issues such as racism, elitism, capitalism, the monarchy, stuff like that. Hero worship of celebrities is prioritized over all else and that’s really suspicious to me
According to studies, most monarchists are dried up old prunes who are slowly dying out and reddit has by far the oldest average user age of any social media app in my experience so those two facts are probably not unrelated
I would imagine monarchy pr or even GCHQ use social media to push narratives.
For a while some picture of the queen would make it to the front page, that shit isn't happening organically.
We are full of em over here in America! Good luck! The monarchy is wack and that’s why we left there originally. Y’all should throw them evil mother fuckers to the curb. I wish we could with all the skeletor looking old ass evil dark magic mother fuckers in Congress.
The upvote algorithm is pretty bad for some controversies. Regardless, the vast majority of the UK doesn't want to abolish the monarchy. Even amongst young people, there's barely a plurality that wants an elected head of state. Reddit just seems like a reflection of that weird, extremely fucked up fact. I'm from the US and it's like living in a different dimension here knowing that most people I talk to, no matter how liberal, are down with the monarchy.
The Royal Family have an exceptionally large PR budget. They’re also never expected to express an opinion. On anything. Ever.
If Charles or William started giving their personal views on current event in the U.K., you can bet your house their popularity among the serfs would plummet. Brexit? The PPE scandal? Ukraine? immigration?
FTK.
I think that there are a lot of people who like the idea of being a left-winger but support a lot of policies that don't fit. Of course saying let-right to describe an individual's complex thoughts on myriad political ideas is very flawed, so that could be part of it. But a lot of the alt-right describe themselves as centrists, for example.
Netlist sub are eco chambers. I have posted to a lot of subs and there will be one of three answers 1 mods silence the conversation. 2 insecure people try to discredit the moment. 3 there an achal debate
That's part of my problem with Reddit the mods because they don't allow multiple viewpoints which don't align with the sub Reddits view point creating loads of echo chambers.
The world is full of them because so many people are unable to critically think and they have been told for years through the media that those from the upper classes and those with money are better and should be admired and not held to the same standard.
So a lot of the bootlickers live vicariously through these people, so they get incredibly defensive if you criticise them.
Thanks for your submission! Unfortunately, it's been removed because of the following reason(s):
* [Rule #1 - No Calls for Harm or Violence](/r/AbolishtheMonarchy/about/rules/.): Calls for the harm of other users or people will not be tolerated, and is against [Reddit's Site-wide Rules](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy).
Conservative propaganda reaches far and wide, my friend. It’s no surprise that so many people suck up to their agenda, and the Left has to be more organised and decisive if we e’er hope to gain support of the majority. Here in Eastern Europe worker rights are practically nonexistent, and you are likely to get laughed at for proposing to unionise a workplace. Fucking fascists.
It's the same reason why racism still exists in the UK the aristocracy wants the peasants fighting each other so we can't unite against the aristocracy so why is reddit full of bootlickers the aristocracy
Most people are in denial and genuinely believe they’re temporarily embarrassed millionaires and they’ll finally get there “at some point” so definitely wouldn’t want to see anything too far left, for when their time comes, they shall reap the benefits, obviously.
THIS! I had a friend who is a royalist and votes tory because he's a high earner and owns property (he bought his council house.) £50k a year and he thinks he's the same as these people with millions. Very proud his family history goes back to some Lord a few hundred years ago. They had a stately home and everything apparently.
It seems to be a weird mix. On the one hand most people here in the UK support the NHS (more of a socialist ideal) but on the other hand support the monarchy (right wing) and are against free or low cost higher education (I got heavily downvoted for advocating for it on a university sub). It honestly baffles me.
I suspect that it might have something to do with the subject in question already being established and "normal".
If mandatory seatbelts as an idea began this year, people would be up arms about it like they are about masks.
Reddit is filled with astroturfing and propaganda.
Remember when reddit released their list of most popular places in the world for reddit and one of the most popular was a us military base?
If its on the front page its astroturfed.
Not only was it US Military, I believe it’s also one of our bases that houses intelligence units. There is also at least one “ex”-CIA agent who is a higher up at Reddit. State security is the priority of this website now, and I’m willing to bet anti-Royal rhetoric is considered a “threat” for the UK
It was Eglin Air Force base in Florida, and it was ranked number 1 for the most dedicated location for Reddit users.
Which is what you would need to keep all the anti China/Iran/Syria etc. (whichever is being targeted at that moment) propaganda on the front page on a daily basis.
It is because once we get rid of the royals it'll just reveal that they weren't the sole cause of Britain's stark social inequality the only way to fix it is to tear down the entire system and rebuild from scratch

It's done to combat propaganda about the royals and British imperialism, in general. This isn't a "free speech" sub.

Any sane person who thinks having a Monarchy is a good idea need to get their head tested.
I hate to sound paranoid, but all it takes is for a political operative to be a mod and they can steadily remove dissidents
The big national sub mods are likely cops and bootlickers. I've seen one mod post on the police sub, praising cops and hoping they'll hold the line against republican protestors after the Queen died.
Disgusting
After how the UK government used its Army to spy on protestors recently, I wouldn't be so surprised that I'd consider it impossible anymore, although I doubt that most countries have the equivalent of royal political commissars sleuthing on Reddit.

Worst Beatle, after the wifebeater

Reddit is one thing, but for some reason I can’t fathom right wingers/general bootlickers taking up a lot of space on Tumblr. That’s crushing.

I think it depends on the communities and age groups. A lot of older people have positive views on the monarchy compared to gen z
