But a few hours were enough for Pompeii.
There's always hope :)
- DiggyJohnson 4y agoWhy root for it to collapse? Seems like a bizarre thing to hope for (but I’ve never been on Twitter so I’m coming at this from a distance).
- kalleboo 4y agoPersonally I'm rooting for all centralized, corporate, ad-financed tech to collapse and be replaced by open, federated standards.
- kergonath 4y agoI am afraid one does not imply the other and that this will also leave room for new centralised company-controlled services.
- MonkeyClub 4y agokalleboo summarized it handsomely. I really dislike seeing (mega-) corps usurping the public domain, and find it highly offensive and dangerous to democracy. Twitter isn’t the public square, it’s a private revenue stream for Twitter. It shouldn’t be allowed to sway people into believing it’s a free speech platform, nor should it be used as the public space for official announcements by governments and other authorities.
