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.

@chrisabides I generally agree and I know you said most people, but I’m seeing a lot of artists say that they won’t be able to grow a following without algorithmic discovery. I know there’s boosting and hashtags but it’s really not the same.
@k I feel for people wanting/needing to monetize their art online, since algorithms and social media monoliths are their fastest ways to paying audiences.
