Pretty sure it's their way of trying to damage control the increasing toxicity on the site. If you frequent other socials you could tell Reddit in general was starting to get a bad rep.

Reddit is just another social field where people disagree on things and that has never looked pretty. For people to dress it up as some sort of new or controversial thing is ridiculous.
The only problem Reddit has ever reinforced is the hardening of the echochambers and now that issue will only further be fortified.

That's the thing though, I don't care that those echo chambers exist. If I don't see them on r/all as far as I'm concerned, they don't exist.

It isn't about you caring that they exist, as much as you, being a rational human being, understanding that they breed an extremely polarized worldview from whichever side it comes.
This is perfectly showcased by how modern online discourse is handled, especially on reddit.
In that sense, reddits new way of handling these situations, will only further dig these holes that people sit in and reinforce their hold on people.
That seems like a strangely detached approach to life around you? Do you actively choose to not be critical of how things develop or question why and how things are going?

Really impressive that you way able to deduct the process by which I make decisions in real life off of that one Reddit comment... Even if I am detached from what may seem like reality to you, I literally could not give two shits about what someone who I will never know or never interact with in any way shape or form decides to type on their keyboard. I really don't have that kind of time on my hands, simple as that.

If you look at the phrasing, those are questions, not confirmations or judgment.
Then participating in this discussion on this topic, in this very comment section seems extremely at odds with your general perspective on these situations.

Yep, this conversation is meaningless. After this I'm going to log off my computer, go to sleep and wake up tomorrow morning and nothing that is said here will affect how I spend my day tomorrow. Doesn't mean I'm not going to get my point across.
It would even be more meaningless if I never knew this subreddit existed.

Your comment is actually stupid and shows stunning ignorance.
"You don't care that echo chambers exist if you don't see them on all."
You realize they have just hidden echo chambers they don't agree with and pushed the echo chambers that further the accepted agenda forward right? You are still only seeing echo chambers. Just the ones they want you to see. Thats EXACTLY how propaganda works. Reddit is being run like the Chinese govt runs the internet.

Haha you're right, I guess if I had to chose between seeing frequent posts from r/cringeanarchy or from the absolutely disgusting echo chamber that is r/aww on the front page I should be choosing the former because of the fact that it's opinions aren't widely accepted xD

You joke but aww can be really awful. They constantly fall for animals being abused to make a "cute" video for youtube.
