Agreed. Reddit went from being an active discussion board (if I can call it that) to having controlled dialogues. Echo chambers now exist, everywhere. Essentially, each sub is - veritably - it's own version of r/TumblerInAction on 'x' given topic, whether it be politics, social discourse, or what-have-you.
Even the ban against "hate subs" doesn't seem to take into the fact that a lot of hate subs still exist[0], espousing hate and dehumanisation of people. (Far more have sprung-up since this list was made but do note that the list referenced has a political leaning to it, as well. Perhaps, though, this has more to do with the radicalisation of politics.)
