Stop being a consumer and opt yourself in to developing & advancing new frontiers. Taking advice for current alternatives, just moving your trust, is insufficient to help the world out of this noospheric log jam we are caught in. Not everyone can be, we know, but we all need a lot more active agents helping suss out where to go now. You should consider trying to help figure out not only where now, but where next.

They forgot to mention blogs and friend-of-a-friend and pingbacks and RSS and web rings!

There are no options. It is as if the world water supply is suddenly owned by a guy you cannot trust. This is bad.

The mindset is that Twitter is somehow a vital utility. There is a model for that kind of business, if that’s what Twitter is. Maybe it is.

Everyone threw out a ton of other options when they were censoring right leaning and republican posts.... they cried that it wasn't silencing your free speech since Twitter was a commercial entity. Use Rumble, or any other site if you don't like it, they said.

Now that they are worried about Elon changing it, now all of the sudden the sky is falling and there are no other options?

Here's an exact quote of what someone told me: "Where does it say they have to be equal in their treatment? It doesn’t. There’s a right side and a wrong side to things. If Twitter leans left by not editorializing and editing things on one side or the other so be it. For now they’re taking down things I disagree with and that’s fine by me. Those that don’t like it can go to Parler, Truth Social (lol), Gettr, or any other such place."
