I think that instead of trying to counter echo chambers and trying to change everybody's mind with moderate content, we need to strengthen them and stop making people clash.
The problem with social media is that it isn't enough like real life, where I have a choice of whose opinion I have to hear.
Therefore, I propose a system whereby the participants don't see content that's objectionable to them. The highest rated content and comments are the ones that the participant is most likely to agree and be comfortable with. Everything else is hidden until I decide to explore it.
We need user-centric systems, not "truth"-centric systems. Let me form my own bubble just like I do in meat space.
