X.com is the only reliable source of news now as people from all political views do independent reporting there and Community Notes fact checks them.

I was never much of a Twitter user, but I have a really hard time believing that any social network incentivizing short comments and social validation through likes/shares and an algorithmic feed will ever be a reliable source for unbiased views.

That site is, and always has been, full of hot takes and sensationalism which are often out-of-context or misleading. Regardless of viewpoint. And most evidence shows it is a top target for intentional disinformation attacks by institutionally-sponsored troll farms. It is very easy for people to end way down the rabbit holes of an echo chamber on that site and find themselves exposed to niche accounts that don't receive any fact checking or counterarguments.
