Lotta talk about replacing Twitter.
The better dialogue is how to get people to re-evaluate how they engage with the internet.
Personally, I'm convinced of two things:
- You can't 1:1 replace Twitter unless it's a similar top-down walled garden.
- Most people probably shouldn't want a Twitter replacement, since Twitter is bad for us.
Instead of finding/molding/creating a replacement, we should encourage people (and ourselves!) to focus on what they like most about internet interaction.

I agree here, if we know what we want from the internet we can build the tools that serve our needs not those of corporates who seek to make money from what we do / say online.

I think a lot of parents want something that is safe for their children to use, where those in charge take some responsibility and put safety before profits.
Things like this can't keep happening
