Echo Chamber: Interactive simulation that shows how echo chambers form (and how bots make it worse)

I built a little web tool that lets you play with the mechanics behind opinion polarization, echo chambers, and network fragmentation. You adjust sliders for things like: How tolerant people are of differing opinions Homophily (how much we prefer connecting with similar people) Rewiring rate Feed bias (how much the algorithm pushes "engaging" content) And you can turn on bots too Click the Presets under the diagram to try out different scenarios.
