Peeked at Bluesky the other day and was thinking "wow a lot of these posts are in Portuguese". It took an embarrassingly long time for me to connect the dots.
Anyway, my point is, damage has been done to Xitter's user base in Brazil. How much damage remains to be seen.
If Twitter reopens, I would bet 90% will go back, sadly.
No wonder Elon prefers fascist leaders vs left governments.
What'd be more productive would be enforcing a reformed model.
- Algorithm promoted content is considered published.
- You can't promote content from unverified accounts.
- Unverified users can still post to friends and family.
- Maximum of 250 followers unless you verify.
- Friends and family can be grouped up so you can precisely control who sees what.
- You can only repost an original post, so if your friend wrote it or made it, you're good, but if they shared it from someone else, then you're gonna have to rewrite it or rememe it to post it yourself.
