To me though, that is not what twitter was for. It was for getting news about events from various places, not from a narrow echo chamber.

I looked at Mastodon maybe a year and a half ago, and was like "wait, it's all just for one subject, it's like discord, but somehow worse"

I don't know about news, I wish I could help you with that. I think there might be more news sources on Mastodon as the recent migration from centralized social medias occured, but I'm not sure. It can sound like an echo chamber, I relate to that, but feed curation is what drives your main page.
