  Twitter

Twitter became a censorship platform, with a peak at banning the president of the United States in exercise. I have been trying GETTR instead, and so should you. With Elon Musk's 2022 takeover, I am expectant of a possible return to an online public place hosting the full spectrum of political and other types of opinions. Some things about twitter are good: the idea itself, to start with, and its hosting of such people like Snowden, who it would be difficult to "follow" otherwise. I like, for instance, that he is following only one account: the NSA.

From Fabrice's feed:

An error occured. That's all we know. (what happened is that Elon blocked access to their API)

From Elena's feed:

Twitter is a great idea, to keep it short, but it also explores the artistic, the scientific and the futile. Unfortunately, it turned into a one-way, politically-correct censorship-based platform, thus dwarfing its interest to basically that of a propaganda tool. On 7 January (2022), I am trying GETTR [1] instead though with little illusion of its chances of overcoming twitter, although if they keep banning people, they might render the service of sabotaging their own tyranny.
