The penalty for wrongthink on mastodon is banning. This ensures ideological homogeneity within each instance. For many people, this is a feature not a bug.

Thing about an echo chamber is that it feels amazing to be in one. Everyone agreeing with me, slapping my back when I say something to reinforce the groupthink. I feel so smart! Love it!

The negatives of the echo chamber are felt by people not in it, not me and my group.

Unfortunately for everyone else, feeling smart does not translate to being smart.
