    It will almost certainly become Twitter as it was created by the Twitter founder. The only difference being that it will become the Twitter from before Musk took over. Which is a massive difference.

      It’s worse than that.

      Blockchain Capital LLC was co-founded by Steve Bannon pal Brock Pierce, a major crypto advocate, perennial presidential candidate, and close friend of Eric Adams. Pierce has dozens of other shady MAGA/Russia ties as well.

      Dorsey’s already out, the people running the project are from the TESCREAL gang.

      The only difference being that it will become the Twitter from before Musk took over.

      Dorsey is just as emotionally stunted and socially reactionary as Musk. He simply isn’t as wealthy.

      BlueSky has thrived not because Dorsey crafted it into a purer vision, but because he’s neglected it and allowed the user base to have their way.

        I never liked Twitter to begin with so I’m not one to defend him. My preferred one is Mastodon, but generally I don’t like the format to begin with. At any rate, I’ll still take pre-musk Twitter over Xitter any day.

          Things were better before they got worse, sure.

          But the problem in these systems is the trade off between centralization (consolidated control and monolithic content) and federation (poor navigation/petty administrative feuds/less quality content). Switching from Twitter to BlueSky relieves you from the current admin’s fuckups, but you’re still stuck in a flawed system.

            I fully agree. When I feel like using a Twitter like platform (which is exceedingly rare), I use Mastodon
