   I ditched Twatter a few years back, before it was Muskified. It's like impossible to even see a thread now if you're not logged in (and most nitter instances are broken/dead). I remember getting on it like the 2nd or 3rd year it was live; people at work in marketing told me about it. It was before the eyePhone, and some university buddies and I used the SMS feature as a big group chat.

     I mean ... some people attempted the Gemini protocol ... and that worked out so well ..
     
     It doesn't matter what you try to make ... the web browser is a fucking OS now and you can implement a client for nearly any new thing as a web app

     @vic @djsumdog @Nazareno @mischievoustomato Then let's make it complicated again. Start with all new shit being made on a new protocol with a new client that has in its license that you can't distribute binaries. Users must compile it on their own system.
