They have actually done studies on this that show it's a one-way street. Leftists, especially online, can pretty much have the privilege of existing in a echo chamber.
Think about every social platform you can consider. Unless the forum in question is about topics that are vibrantly right-wing in question, it defaults to leftist spewing their opinions without getting called out on them every single time. Whereas if you're right-leaning, you just got to grin and bear it - cause getting into a debate will just get you swarmed.
The idea is that any place that isn't explicitly right wing will eventually become Left. It doesn't mean that those explicit right wing places aren't capable of becoming the same echo chamber, mind virus filled places as a Leftist one. Arguably they are more susceptible to it, because they literally cannot leave as there are vanishingly few places they can even be openly right wing.
Anyone who had a slightly unpopular on T_D can vouch for how little different they were from basic subs in terms of all the same echo, dogpile etc. problems.
