of course the mechanic of individually selecting people to follow will create a filter bubble containing a select group of people. of course the potential for homogenization bias exists in such a model. but that potential is based entirely upon the criteria for selection, which is up to each user. if you want homogenization (or don't consciously avoid it), that's what you'll get. the model is partly subverted in hubski due to the presence of features allowing one to follow tags and domains, but those features are subject to "subreddit death" and other detrimental phenomena...
