View submission: Announcing the Crowd Control Beta
So do you guys worry about how this will affect the nature of Reddit as a platform for sharing ideas and opinions?
Now it seems that an outsider who stumbles on a subreddit will now have their view minimized.

Algorithmic echo Chambers are how Facebook became so dangerous to democracy. Now it's reddits turn.

In my view, it will probably reverse that effect by removing the mass attack nature of links from other subs. That means that ordinary serendipitous discoveries will be distinct from the mob.

Sounds like this is meant to be applied to specific situations, users who normally stumble into a new sub *not* though some controversy will not notice a difference.

Is that bad? New people stumbling onto a sub might have to observe for a while instead of immediately jumping into the discourse. I think that's often a productive way to run an internet community.
