  Negligible userbase compared to Twitter. Suggestion doesn't solve the stated problem in a way that solves it, instead advocates adviser's hobbyhorse.

    It's very sad to see someone I highly respect say this. You're a champion calling out the bullshit in cryptocurrency, shame you can't do the same with large broken companies that literally hire psychologists to fuck with peoples minds and make them use the site more. Not enough reach isn't an argument, Mastadon works fine, twitter is incredibly broken and evil, it encourages hottakes and bullshit.

    Why doesn’t it solve it? The guy has an audience. He just needs a URL people can find him on. I guess a lot of people wouldn’t have the grit and determination required to read something that isn’t spoon fed via Twitter, so he might lose a few “followers”. But I wonder if a twitter follower is like 0.02 email subscribers in terms of attention span and deliverability. Who reads every tweet in their feed?
