I tried breaking out of my echo chambers and found:

1) It's all echo chambers everywhere. It's just a matter of which you pick.

2) Finding/identifying high quality echo chambers with mind-opening discussion is hard especially when you are not an insider

3) You might find a bubble you like OK and then suddenly the bubble is talking enthusiastically about how, yup, cyclists pretty much deserve to die. Well, you happen to be a (law-abiding) cyclist, and by god that hurts to hear.

I've found if I want to continue seeing the best in everyone, there's a portion of the population I just shouldn't talk to. At least online.
