Yet another DOA twitter clone brought to you by a guy who couldn't get it right the first time or the second.
Twitter's value is in the active userbase and cultural relevance. I'll believe it has real competition when people stop announcing their departure and quietly returning shortly thereafter from whatever dead platform they absconded to.
- 32gbsd 4y agoWhy do these things look and work the same as twitter? Has everything been done?
- rsynnott 4y agoNo, but successful new ideas in the space are _relatively_ rare. Twitter itself ultimately acquired most of its features from third party apps, Tumblr, Pownce and other contemporaries, or just user behaviour (eg users invented retweets without any platform support); the _original_ Twitter was _very_ bare-bones.
- 32gbsd 4y agoi see. well hopefully one of them will try something new
- selfhoster11 4y agoMastodon looks alive to me. It’s not a Twitter killer, but its position is cemented.
