 @58db300d this seemed like the vision 15 years ago, but so many "open source" folks were into "open" twitter api and the "linuxy" Mac (still a problem) that there wasnt the head space. the way most people have reacted to the pandemic by literally having learned nothing, I really can't say I have much hope for the twitter exodus. it does feel different, but I'm not going to get excited
