I'm sympathetic to criticism of a community that's locked into its own information space and incapable of accepting anything else.
However, every community is going to have norms (implicit or explicit) about what kind of things are so egregious to say that they are unacceptable.
People who want to say those things are going to condemn that community as an "echo chamber."
I don't think there's any solution to the general problem of "being an echo chamber" that doesn't result in "becoming the Nazi bar" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Nazi_bar
This is something every community has to work out for themselves, and there are always going to be people who think it's too much or not enough.
