Hey friends – if you are looking for an outlet beyond Twitter, might I suggest micro.blog ? Can configure to cross post to Twitter so you don’t have to give it up yet, but is a big step towards an independent web.
the difference between those and micro.blog is that you own the content at a URL that you can take to any blog in future. I use it from my own site. That tweet originated there miklb.com/2018/01/3002/ and these replies will back feed to it.
micro.blog is a nice beginner step to doing that. There are more robust options, but I don’t want to scare non-dev type folks when a lot of the heavy lifting is right there.
Ah, very cool! I see what you did there. media.giphy.com/media/5gw0VWGb…
I seem to remember something else like this at one point, app.net? Diaspora?
