Interesting. The main problem being Twitter's entrenched/sticky network effect?
Just a couple hundred donators could support the whole project with a few bucks, a la Dwarf Fortress or many hundreds of Youtubers
- spamizbad 8y agoI don't think there's any real problem here: conservatives in washington wants their base to think there's a conspiracy against them in tech. The technology industry employs large numbers of people who are college-educated, millennials/yougner Gen-Xers and/or Asian-Americans: people who demographically skew left. This alone makes our industry suspect to the conservatives. Isn't it odd that Steve Bannon starts publicly ranting about there being too many Asians in Silicon Valley and now all of a sudden we're far too liberal and censoring conservative voices... despite the fact that both Facebook and Twitter have been utilized deftly by conservatives to spread their message and communicate with their voters?
