Being able to respond with an alternative viewpoint without having your reply made invisible is not necessary for countering echo chambers?
Even on HN and Reddit, many people use the downvote button improperly. It should be a button to downvote content that doesn't contribute to the discussion, or is spam, or morally bankrupt. It's not anything closed to this in practice. I think this is how the block feature will be used if you can just block someone to delete their replies.

I'm not a fan of removing likes from Twitter.
