Due to how poor twitter is run, he can't get it back.
I wish celebs would just ditch the platform already.

Sciences, sports, politics, news and many more all rely on twitter as a platform that works or used to. There really is a case for a internationally ran system for this. Twitter has such a high value that removing it will have a negative impact. Something that has become so fundamental to getting a message across needs to be ran in a not for profit fashion, rather than see it go to the wall because there is not enough return in it.

Twitter is international. It will not have the same appeal with segregation by nationality.
The Dutch Government has a much higher trust rating than ours has. Can you imagine the same uptake if the UK did likewise. I certainly would have zero trust with the current people in power.

That’s gross, I bet you’re right

The problem is: ditch it and go where?
There isn't a place yet that has unified all public announcements like twitter does.
Threads is in a good place for that, but it's been a week. And it's Facebook 🤮
Mastodon, why not, but the mess that are instances isn't helping newcomers feel comfortable on there.
