    If you go for this your dumber than the average bear. Lest we forget, Twitter pioneered screwing over third party devs, twice! Once back in 2012 and then more recently

    I guess if you were looking for a platform that is run by a large man child, is somehow on shakier ground than Reddit, and will suck then this is good news?

    Participating in an Elon ran version of Reddit sounds just as fun as being launched into the sun would be

      You think he’s that stupid? He’d launch his rocket at night, of course!

    Twitter communities have been around a good while. As in, I even wrote a search app that found new communities as people created them, and people used my app (and other apps) for about a year or so, and then eventually Twitter added that functionality themselves, so I deprecated my app, and then about year or so later, Elon bought Twitter and communities died from lack of use/ support.

    In other words, this was around for a while before Elon.

    I’m pretty sure this had launched a bit earlier, but yeah, pretty convenient timing.

    I love how all mainstream platforms keep mimicking each other to become exact copies of one another. I wonder if there was a way for platforms to collaborate with each other and interconnect somehow rather than duplicating efforts by copying all features from all other platforms? 🤔

        We’ll call it Humongo DBHTML (short for Data Based Hypertext-based Terminator Machine Language), and it can allow Planet Net to plan its planet plans for fixing all the utopia bugs.
