This apps users would probably say the mainstream platforms are an echo chamber for the opposite points of view.

It would be pretty dumb seeing as twitter (to single out one) has huge numbers of fascists to communists on it still to this day. Personally I think the problem of "echo chambers" is a minor one compared to the problem of massive unitary platforms where western governments offload political debates on the limits of free speech and what constitutes disinformation to a bunch of tech execs.

Even though there might be different opinions that’s of no help when the platform tries to keep you inside a bubble that only contains opinions that agree with you.
