Since i am seeing the scream on twitter from our friends over there about finding a new platform, even Santa is not happy about it, ill just put this out here, noone will see it on twitter anyway.
I will ask only this. What is the point of me tweeting on twitter, if out of my 4000+ followers only 10 see my posts? (I am talking about the post impression within the first 1 hour). Is it better to talk to walls, to yourself over there, than to interact with people somewhere else, where they actually see your posts?
In terms of security, what difference does it make to shine off your IP address to twitter owners, or to Kobayashi ? You are exposed, no matter where you go. VPN would help. So if you go, choose wisely and have some fun with it. I like the positive spirit here, and i like the interaction. And remember, that closer to 2020 we ALL will most likely get suspended there, or get severely shadowbanned (which i currently most likely am and definitely was since 2016 until 3 days before jack went to congress to testify). This is not look like a traffic rerouting, this is our desire to stay together somehow, to be connected and re-connected in case we are exterminated on twitter. It is not about choosing one platform other another, it is about having alternatives where you actually can speak up your mind, vent, be heard and not to be attacked by trolls. Alternative is a keyword, something monopolies completely forgot about.
