The great thing about Twitter is the Community Notes. If someone likes or retweets something that isn't true, folks can flag it, and the Community Notes people investigate it and we all get to see the truth, with links to credible sources.
This works for conservative tweets as well as liberal tweets. Folks saying it's just a "right-wing echo chamber" obviously don't spend much time on it. In fact, a lot of people are complaining that the "For You" feed has a lot of liberals we've never heard of and certainly would never follow on it. The "Following" feed IS made up of folks we follow. But frankly, I spend more time on the "For You" feed, because it's more varied and interesting.
So it's only a right- or left-wing echo chamber on Twitter/X if you want it to be. What's odd is that the liberals could have a liberal echo chamber with the "Following" feed, but apparently the liberals don't like that conservatives even exist on Twitter.
