I didn’t get booted from Twitter. I temporarily disabled my account. I may or may not go back before the 30 day window where the account is permanently deleted.
@keubiko A lot of normies will end up leaving twitter if he keeps that site's current trajectory.
@jstroik Yes it's rapidly turning into Parler / Truth Social. Given Twitter isn't a complicated technical project, I really wish another large tech player would launch a competitive microblogging site. Alphabet is the natural choice as they could use their extensive Youtube content moderation tech and processes, not to mention ad sales etc. Key is getting critical mass of influencer accounts to kickstart it and solve the chicken/egg problem. Mastadon isn't nearly user friendly enough and isn't a great long-term replacement.

@keubiko @jstroik I wish they would too, but I doubt Alphabet touches it with a 20 ft pole unless their core business really starts to erode.

Every politician wants them fined or broken up - seems like a high-risk move for either them or Facebook.
