Let’s say there is a tulip lovers club, where they talk about tulips, their variations and how to grow them. Let’s say someone new joins the club, this new person starts saying that tulips are rubbish and that roses are better or something like that. This person becomes so insistent with these statements that they end up being kicked out of the club. Before leaving, the person calls the club an “Echo Chamber” about tulips.
Would this person be right?
The example is completely hypothetical, I wanted to know if a group of people created for a specific purpose or with a specific set of common ideas could be considered an Echo Chamber. And if so, then what wouldn’t be an echo chamber?
Gotcha… as you can see, it probably depends on who you ask!
“Echo chamber” definitely has a negative connotation, which is why I don’t think the specific-purpose group is acting as an echo chamber at least not insofar as they are keeping the group on-topic.
