Ask HN: How do I escape the echo chamber?

Go on Youtube. There are tons of opposing view points from left/right, liberal/conservative sides.

FB is echo chamber central. Your FB "friends" just freak out, start calling you names if you say something contrary to their beliefs. Many of the people I considered rather rational started making completely nonsensical arguments.

I've always considered myself rather liberal, but watching the recent developments, alt-right arguments make a lot of sense.

this is my problem. I want FB to be less of an echo chamber. I'd like my posts to be places where people of all stripes can debate each other, because it's one of the few places they meet. But the algorithm seems determined to defeat me :(
