What is "the will of the people" with regards to Twitter?
- jdrc 5y agoThe will of twitter employees
- darthg0d 5y agoDo you think all Twitter employees have a say in how Twitter is run?
- NaturalPhallacy 5y agoI mean it's pretty obvious which side they're on: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/twitter/summary?id=D000067113 https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/twitter/summary?id=D0000671...
- kdtsh 5y agoWell, no, that just shows it’s obvious which side they’re not on. The Red and Blue are two very large tents.

It would have had to grow slowly, probably in some decentralized form like Mastodon did with people and organizations funding their own instances and linking up through a common protocol. The world would have been better for it. In a different universe, (for example) branches of governments run their own instances for politicians and candidates to speak on without having to worry about clashing with moderation policies that serve other use cases on other instances.
