While it's too late to do much about organizing SaidIt, I do love the idea of classifying subs like your example. It may be useful for the next iteration of SaidIt that /u/magnora7 and/or /u/d3rr may do. I doubt anyone would voluntarily consider themselves an echo chamber but folks might consider classifying their subs into things like /a/Audio, /c/Community, /g/Genre, /i/Images, /m/Media, /p/Political, /t/Topic, /v/Video, /w/Website, etc. (ideally pre-determined democratically by a next-gen dev team or discussion sub).

I hadn't thought of this since thinking about site-wide truncated links that would lead to /r/Reddit, /wp/Wikipedia, /ws/WikiSpooks, /nab/NotABug, etc.

It seems underutilized and full of potential, however it could be used.

It doesn't matter if the mods think they are or are not an echo chamber. Users can find out/report if they get banned merely for disagreeing or not being the correct race/sex/preference/etc.
