Depends. Echo chambers are also created by upvote/downvote ratios. If the majority are upvoting a lot of content you have no interest in, filtering that content is also a way to avoid an echo chamber from dominating your feed.
I browse a lot by Everything because my limited list of subscribed communities don't yet publish enough content to really fill a day's worth of browsing, so there are a lot of things I've blocked just because it's not interesting to me, or if I am not really the intended audience (e.g. a lot of sports communities for teams I don't follow, german-speaking communities from feddit.org, etc).
I don't often have to resort to blocking specific users, but there's a very small handful of names who post a large volume of content I want to filter but also don't use consistent communities or keywords that I can cleanly filter instead.
