I think the answer to whether or not HN is an echo chamber, as of this moment, is no. It seems like a weekly occurrence where two conflicting articles on the front page. Oftentimes one is a direct response. In this sense, one is exposed to a spectrum of ideas. What I will say is that tribalism is still incredibly strong. The amount of times I've been drive-by downvoted always makes me chuckle. The other day I was downvoted for correcting myself that Ethereum is driving up GPU prices and not Bitcoin. Presumably the person didn't mind the Bitcoin negativity but did mind for Ethereum. I kind of wish a reply is necessitated in order to downvote sometimes.
