It is a tiny tool that pushes people further into echo chambers. Opting out into the “I don’t need to know anything about politics” is itself an echo chamber, usually by well-off people (as you mentioned.)

It would be really great to see people making little tools that go in the opposite direction.

We don't need people to make tools that go in the opposite direction. Politics is everywhere on the internet. No one needs a tool to find political opinions online any more than one needs a tool to find cockroaches in a sewer.

I don’t think you understood my comment at all, the point of which was to create tools that help people understand each other better.

I don't think that's a problem that can be solved with technology. And sometimes people understand others perfectly well, and their choice to avoid those people isn't the result of ignorance or fear.
