Alternatives to Twitter

I’ve got a bunch of quarter- or half-formed blog posts about The Recent Unpleasantness I haven’t had time to finish, so let’s use this low-calorie blog post substitute to note that I’m on two separate alternative to Twitter:

  • On Gab I’m @BattleSwarm. Gab was looking moribund for a while, but after this week’s events it seems to be showing some life again.
  • I’m on Parler as @Lawrenceperson.
  • I’ve also added a Social Media section to the sidebar.

    So if you’re on either of those, try to follow me there in addition to my Twitter account, as it seems like only a matter of time until my account gets nuked for #WrongThink. One wonders how profitable Twitter will be once they get around to banning everyone Democrats and Social Justice Warriors think should get banned.

    Also: Open thread.

      Parler being removed by Apple and Android was going too far. Now AWS?!

      Is it possible to run a platform on AWS without AWS knowing about it?

      Scott Adams brought up a point today: how long before Republicans cannot use banks? Like, period? He gave Gavin McInness as an example. Or maybe a Republican cannot use a payment processor (i.e. Stripe). Scott says this is already happening.

      What the he’ll is wrong with the red tribe, that we’ve let them get this far, this powerful?

      Section 230 won’t happen, and if it did, it would apply equally to Parler, Gab, and everywhere else.
