There are hundreds of millions of people on X. If one cant find a circle of like minded people there, one has to take some personal responsibility for character failure.

The point wasn't that you can't find people on twitter. The point is that nobody should be patronizing it. It is fundamentally hostile toward you (though not necessarily overtly), and by being one of the people supporting it, the aggregate effect is that you are working contrary to your own interests. This is true of social media in general, but nobody can hold a candle to Nu Twitter.
There is no personal responsibility to take. The algorithm is deliberately tuned to present as much inflammatory and incorrect information to users as possible[0]. If you feel ostracized by the content promoted on X, it is probably because you have a well-calibrated bullshit detector and no extenuating insecurities.
