I found that, at least in my experience, social media feeds do indeed become echo chambers easily. It's almost an impulse to unfollow someone in twitter or unfriend someone in facebook when they post something one doesn't like. I had to start consciously reminding myself that I should want to hear every point of view so I can make more informed decisions.
Maybe, as with everything, the solution is more education. In this case: "yes, that person posted something you don't like. You should still read it, else you might risk becoming unaware that people who disagree with you exist, which could distort your view of the world, at least a bit."
