I think having a marketplace full of alternatives helps prevent that kind of entrenchment somewhat. Here is my problem though, who decides what an echo chamber is? I like a good back and forth conversation, but hate bad faith arguments. If people talk stupid shit, how much tolerance should one reasonably expect?

The problem isn't different opinions, or even radical ones, it's these opinions garnering more clicks and views, incentivizing them as a result.

The reddit model works well for discussions but the mod fiasco ruins everything.
