the website formerly known as Twitter.
Every time a journalist refuses to acknowledge the idiotic name change is another little hit of dopamine.

Given their choice of logo, I am advocating for everyone to start referring to it as Twitter/X11.
Isn't the logo just a unicode character? The X in X.Org is 2 seperate pieces that bend away from each other at the center.
X also a terrible search term. Searching for an article with the word Twitter in it should work a lot better.

Looks like it's Australia only ATM...
Would love something like this in the UK.
We need this world wide I guess, here in Germany many landlords suck and i would be happy to let people know.
I could make one for the uk, if you think there would be a userbase for it.
Wouldn’t want to make money from it.
I would very much talk with a lawyer first.
These kinds of things crop up every few years and either become dens of racism or get sued to oblivion. And the UK has some pretty hefty libel laws
What if it was hosted in another country and set up through a shell company, like these large companies like to hide behind?
I will seek legal advice first but just thinking out loud I guess.
Read the history of the Pirate Bay. That should give you some ideas how to make a site that is reasonably resistant to laws and governments.
I'd offer to help but I'd like to visit the motherland some day.
If you have the know how to implement it and the money to maintain it then probably
Not to be a crypto-bro, but if you bought a domain and hosting from, say njal.la or incognet using Monero and you only connected to your hosts to SSH/FTP behind a good VPN, there's not much anyone could do to discover who you are.
I’ll keep that in mind when ready to launch. Currently just putting together a prototype.
This is a fantastic idea
