is there another twitter app out there that still works apart from the official app ?
I think exploding heads folk went to Nostr, so it’s probably got more alt-right folk than is healthy. Though Twitter is a toxic cesspool that morphed into a right wing toxic cesspool.
If I wanted a social media based on people rather than idea, I’d probably go for Mastodon.
Mastodon is turning into what Twitter was and right now is likely the one out of the three to turn into the biggest echo chamber. Twitter under Elon if he keeps his promise will have free speech and no blocking. Nostr is censorship resistant. Mastodon instance admins can defederate other instsnce they do not like and turn mastodon into a echo chamber.
I think Nostr wins since as far as I know they got a blocking feature and users can choose the wild west free speech flow of information or go into a corner of Nostr and follow your interests.
Didn’t he ban several journalists that reported on him banning Elonjet something he said he’d never do, amongst other things. That doesn’t fit in with free speech absolutism or free speech, so I am a little skeptical when he uses that term. You can only judge people by their past actions.
I am not too familiar with Nostr. I think Jack Dorsey endorseyed it. Hopefully there is enough to counter balance the exploding heads. I am massively in favour of free speech, but I don’t like how that is often used as an excuse to freely useoffensives slurs.
