Do you think it can be moderated in any way? Have some kind of Devils-Advocate-Bot that can't be squelched?

From what I've seen, the only way to deal with it is to add outside influence. You have to keep adding new voices, new ideas. The "Echo Chamber" question is basically asking how to prevent growth from halting. When you have a limited number of people discussing a topic long enough they will eventually reach a point where they can agree with each other.
