I’m skeptical it changes much. You don’t need different platforms to have echo chambers, a given platform can support more than one.

I don’t experience twitter as a right wing app at all, for example

I've moved sharply right in the past 4 years. But I still see plenty left content on X so it doesn't seem like a complete echo chamber to me.

It could be that the "left" content that reaches me is whatever enrages the people I follow, so I get an extreme view of what the left thinks now. That is a danger in the "for you tab", but I also follow plenty of people directly on the left of the spectrum.
