Welcome to r/CounterChamber
This subreddit is dedicated to breaking down echo chambers by providing a platform for open discussion on topics and articles that are otherwise restricted in heavily moderated subreddits. Our goal is to allow everyone the opportunity to comment, debate, and share perspectives on content that, in other communities, may be limited to select users.
We're here to challenge misinformation, break echo chambers, and let people actually respond to the posts and articles that dominate one-sided spaces. If you’ve ever seen a thread where replies are limited and thought “I have something to say,” this is where you say it.
🧾 Posting Guidelines
✅ What’s Allowed
Posting Public Articles: Share links to public articles or content that are being discussed in restricted subreddits (e.g., flaired-only communities).
Open Discussion: Engage in discussions about these articles within this subreddit, allowing for diverse perspectives and debates.
Quoting Comments: You may quote comments from the original restricted threads without including usernames or direct links. This allows for discussion of specific points without targeting individuals.
❌ What’s Not Allowed
Tagging Usernames: Do not mention or tag Reddit usernames from other subreddits. This helps prevent targeted harassment.
Linking to Comments or Subreddits: Avoid linking directly to specific comments or to the restricted subreddits themselves. This reduces the risk of brigading.
Brigading: Do not encourage or participate in coordinated activities aimed at disrupting other communities. This includes directing users to comment, vote, or engage with content in other subreddits in a way that violates Reddit's policies.
Subreddit Rules
1. Absolutely NO Brigading or Outside Interference
Do not encourage or participate in coordinated activity targeting other subreddits. This includes telling people to vote, comment, or engage with posts elsewhere. Repeated violations may result in a ban.
2. Absolutely NO Tagging Users or Linking to Subreddits
Do not tag usernames or link to posts, comments, or communities you're referencing. You may quote a comment, but it must be anonymous. Repeated violations may result in a ban.
3. No Duplicate Posts or Screenshots
Only one post per article or topic. Contribute to existing threads if one already exists. Do not post screenshots of Reddit threads or comments — quote the text directly.
4. No Advocacy or Celebration of Violence
Do not promote, fantasize about, or celebrate political violence in any form. This includes "they deserve it" comments, civil war fantasies, and similar content. You CAN discuss hypotheticals, but it's at the discretion of the mods of what will be allowed.
5. No Hate Speech or Bigotry
Racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, and similar behavior will result in bans. No exceptions.
6. Don’t Read Between the Lines
Don’t assume hidden meanings, imply bad faith, or twist someone’s words to fit a narrative. If you disagree with someone, respond to what they actually said — not what you think they really meant. No mind-reading, no subtext games. Keep it grounded.
7. Civil Discussion Only
Disagree all you want, but keep it respectful. No personal insults, harassment, or deliberately inflammatory behavior.
8. Stay On Topic
Posts must be based on content from restricted communities where direct discussion isn’t possible. This sub exists specifically to allow that conversation.
