MODERATORS
Why equate one with the other? You can have a completely unmoderated or poorly moderated echo chamber. Conversely you can have a carefully/poorly moderated or completely unmoderated communities that aren't echo chambers.
The concepts are orthogonal.
In fact, I'd argue that completely unmoderated communities are the most likely to end up as echo chambers. Because only those with extreme views would stick around so the natural end state is a community of extremists. Example: 8chan
That is just my experience in Reddit. Mods will ban you sometimes if they don't like your opinion even if you haven't broken any of the rules. That mostly apply to power trippers but all your points are valid as well.
