Like many others I saw this viral thread from a long-time user lamenting the destruction of Twitter as it as morphed into βX.β I owe Twitter a lot in terms of connections and my career but it has become a truly unpleasant place to spend time and I doubt I wouldβve had the same process of discovery again if I was starting out as a young person there. There needs to be a replacement and I donβt think itβd be hard for Warpcaster to become one. Perhaps Iβm a little biased because Iβve already started using it and enjoying it but this is really the chance to start pitching the platform as an alternative for people who want to recreate the magic of what Twitter was before it become a optimization machine with an internal culture verging on a neo-Nazi rally.

I'm by no means a twitter OG, mostly saw it as a self-filtering news pipeline (anything worth reading propagates to other feeds anyway). imho shortform social media has tried to tap into the total possible base, but twitter only had several hundred million monetizable users at best (sounds impressive enough to many, I'm sure). with the right avenue for casual expression & the right buffer for offensive content, there should be several billions of people that qualify as eventual community members (even w/ some form of dunking/ratio, but those can be further refined w/ constraints)
