I'm not about the echo chamber part, but the HN I first started using was great because of it's tech news and the contributors thoughts/experience with tech news. I'm not sure if it's just because of the pandemic, or the rise of far-right extremism in the USA in general, but I notice (and do not enjoy) a huge increase in the amount of political opinion that people feel the need to express. Often on subjects/topics that I feel do not warrant it.
