In reality what you call "filter bubbles" is how human existence was for our entire history before social media, even on the internet
IRC, Internet Forums, BBS' etc where all often topic centrist and heavily moderated by the community members of those communities. The "platforms" of those days where the underlying software and protocals not a for-profit company.
phpBB, vBullitien, freenode, etc etc etc
That was IMO the golden age of the internet. Modern Social Media "platforms" have brought about the Poo Age of the internet.
HN is somewhat of a throw back to that golden age as well
before the internet you had social clubs that were every topic driven, a Community Sports League, a car club, a motorcycle club, LAN parties for gaming, even In Person physical Linux Users groups....
