> (...) but it's undeniable that doing so exacerbates echo chambers. No, not really. In fact, you got it exactly backwards. The problem was only made possible by these echo chambers. These conspiracy nuts create their subreddits and ban anyone who expresses any dissenting or even inconvenient information. Once these conspiracy nuts remove all reactionaries from the picture, they double down on craziness and create an environment in which everyone feeds off myths and fables repeated ad nauseum as self evident in spite of any lack of substance of bearing in reality. If these conspiracy loons weren't able to censor contrasting opinions and those calling them out on their bullshit, half these crazy rumours would not even go beyond the discussion.
