No clue. Never found those platforms to be useful, just toxic.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Same here... even when Twitter was not even in the sights of fElon I found it to be super toxic. I signed up because "it was the best way to get the news" and left in about 4 days

Because it isn't just Twitter. Nobody can buy the network, the same way nobody can buy email.

  • Anyone can host a server.
  • Anyone can make an app.
  • Anyone can make an algorithm.
  • Anyone can make a moderation service. Users can freely pick a server, app, algorithm, and moderation service.
