There is no longer an echo chamber besides the one a person creates for themselves, which people may choose to do.
It would speed up the rate at which individuals become delusional. But once a certain divergence threshold is reached, they get corrected by reality. The proposed solution hypercharges this delusion-correction process and contains it at the individual level so that it's less likely to grow to the nation-state level where most of the violence and oppression is siloed.
In a democratic society where each person gets a vote, individual delusions of this sort cancel eachother out like random noise. What ends up being voted into law will be what people want in common.
Also, people will gradually realize that being delusional is disadvantageous regardless of what goals they have, so they'll want to filter less and less over time.
Allow me to make one important distinction I forgot to do in the previous reply: there is a difference between conflicts that arise from delusions vs conflicts that arise from preferences. The former is a subset of the latter. We can prevent escalation of the former with client-side filtering and ranking, but the latter is a force of nature. Two people that share an identical model of reality may decide to take different actions anyway. Minimizing echo chambers aligns people's reality models, but it doesn't align their preferences. So while people will want to do less ranking and filtering over time, they will still want to set a non-zero base level of ranking and filtering for themselves, and congregate into homogenous groups, not because they want to be delusional, but because they're fundamentally different.
