Hacker News structure is identical though. Topics invite different demographics and downvotes suppress unpopular opinions. The front page shows most up voted stories. It's the same system.

HN's moderation and ranking is better. But there's definitely an echo chamber effect here too.
HN has some built-in ways to reduce this, like not allowing everyone to downvote everything.
