I think we can agree that Twitter is about to fail with the communists style purge.
We should invent or own twitter clone. Codecanyon has an app for $600.
We should consider a community owned twitter style app. Let's try and run a business in the virtual world. We never meet in person. have board meetings via google chat. Set policy.
Most importantly is the buy in from the community.
If we can get 100 influencers to fund this, give equity sharing. We might have a chance to grow this.
Thoughts on this?
Twitter has killed free speech.
Let's bring it back on our own system.

no just use gab.ai or normiegram or iFunny idk man people here aren't going to donate any money for a clone of twitter.
Oliver Bell
OP is delusional, but gab.ai is tough to get in ATM.
Jordan Morgan
>going to donate any money for a clone of twitter. Not donate, become a limited partnership. A real business with members as investors.
Most people here are degenerate losers and some are intellectuals.
Lucas Wilson
What about minds.com?
Dominic Williams
>gab.ai
Stuff like gab.ai is proof this idea is good.
I would join the gab.ai but it being locked down is an error on their part.
Aaron Bailey
So an echo chamber? No thanks.
Joseph Diaz
i had a gab but deleted it its the fucking COMPLETE OPPOSITE of twitter in that its a anti-left, gab dick-riding spurg board
Lucas Rodriguez
But let's be real, nothing is gonna replace Twitter, at least not in the real future. Facebook is a bit better free speech wise, but they're cucks as well, and they own instagram too.
Although, it's only really bad for the biggest Twitter alt-righters, smaller guys (i.e. us) have no problem because there's just too many of us
Carson Gray
also i tattoo in chicago so dont have to worry about job security and make money. but i dont know business tho i would think endeavoring to create a new chan/twitter social app would be.....fun
Lincoln Bell
This. Gab just isn't fun, because the only people on there are people I mostly agree with.
Lucas Davis
There is already a gnu open source twitter that noone uses. Now there's gab.ai that noone uses. Good luck, OP making another Twitter noone uses because thats what we can use especially now that fewer people are using Twitter

I've lead several development teams working on similar p2p messaging systems and have great contacts and references for UX design. Reply if interested in having a Legit conversation on the topic.
Jose Rivera
i wouldnt say that. twitter has gotten complex over the years and usually simpler ideas get popular like instagram used to be and even that now is overfunctional. Sup Forums has gotten to be the way it is because it has remained mostly unchanged and simple. you dont even need to improve on whats out there, but maybe focus on a smaller aspect and make that the selling point again
Isaac Perez
I agree with this. But, I think that if a new social media powerhouse were to emerge it would have to be something oriented towards everybody (and simple, like you said) and not some free-speech oriented thing that appeals to like 0.1% of ppl
Sebastian Williams
The value in twitter that won't be there in a clone (at least for a while) is direct access to normies for propaganda purposes and journalists to shape what they report. It's crazy how much impact guys like Ricky Vaughn had during the election. But a guy like that who is talented will get a lot of followers and become conspicuous, then twitter will ban him under the new rules and he'll have to start over.
Jeremiah Rodriguez
bump. I'd support this.
Andrew Peterson
That would require you to leave moms basement tho. So, not gonna happen.
Ethan Reyes
Only shitskins and shitskin handlers use social media. It would never be solvent or have the reach necessary to gain traction. Especially as a propaganda platform
Julian Carter
i like this idea but remember that /biz/ is always trying to get money out of "racist pol". it's a shame i don't have a screencap of how to scam Sup Forums threads
>/biz/: "iceland why would you tell them i thought we were friends" maybe you shouldn't have bombed my thread with gay porn when i needed insight on what program to use when buying stocks, you little shits
Elijah Russell
you can make a ismple app that doesnt let companies advertise and have accounts/profiles. tho a donate feature will have to exist but keep it optional.
as far introducing simpler aspects for sharing it can push for webm files to be played and shared
and gab again is too complex already it allows too many links in one post it looks like a fucking myspace page
