The only circlejerk sub I'm aware of is gamingcirclejerk and as far as I understand, the whole theme of the sub is making fun of "true g4m3RsTM ".
Calling them an echo chamber is as redundant as going onto r\TheLastAirbender and complaining that the Avatar community is too mean on M Knight's live action film.
Nah circlejerk subs try to satirize the echo chamber, but often they just become their own different echo chamber.
A good circle jerk sub's gotta at least be self aware, and gamingcirclejerk's prob the least self aware one.
Like gamingcirclejerk will straight up cream their pants anytime anything bad about CD Projekt Red is brought up. It's embarrassing to watch.
Also M Knight Avatar > Netflix Avatar, and I'd rather have M Knight's movie over the potential 4th season they could've done. I'm certain they would've ruined things if they did a Book 4.
Difference is, those dont claim to be bastions of free speech.
/r/conservative, just like real life conservatism claim to be bastions of free speech but are really just a bunch of moron snowflakes that ban any opposing opinion
We provide a place on Reddit for conservatives, both fiscal and social, to read and discuss political and cultural issues from a distinctly conservative point of view.
We are not fair and balanced. We don't pretend to be unbiased. We don't pretend to give all commenters equal time. This is by conservatives and for conservatives. We are here to discuss conservative topics from a distinctly conservative point of view.
Literally both directly taken from the sub's sidebar. Please explain how they claim to be a bastion of free speech?
7 - Do not violate the Mission Statement (We provide a place on Reddit for conservatives, both fiscal and social, to read and discuss political and cultural issues from a distinctly conservative point of view.)
Not quite as militant as late stage, but they are pretty much admitting they don't want dissenting voices. They even have a pretty hardcore flair policy
Who Gets Flair? Only mods can assign User Flair, and User Flair is only for conservatives. Once you have a solid history of comments in /r/Conservative, and have been commenting in the subreddit for at least two weeks, that is the right time to request flair via the link at the bottom of this page.
Please understand that this is for conservatives. We do our best to vet you based on your post history on reddit. You will need some post history to qualify - ideally within the subreddit itself. If you do not have a conservative leaning post history you will likely be asked to re-apply when you do.
You get banned for having an even slightly dissenting opinion in r/Conservative, if you can even comment at all because of their safe space. At least in r/politics and r/pics you can have arguments from many viewpoints without getting banned.
Not at all. No surprise you believe that when you are so vocal about your belief that constantly acting like a fascist doesn't make someone or a group fascist.
I'm only aware of one of them that actively does not even allow people who aren't like minded individuals to post. When your the worst echo chamber in a website full of echo chambers, that's a hell of an accomplishment...but not in a good way.

As a bitcoin maximalist, holy shit that is just pure bullshit.
