Twitter's value is not the platform, its the userbase.

#12They could just spin up a mastodon instance. But as others have stated, the user base is the important part.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
- Thoughts (maybe too on the nose) - Blurb (from the word) - Pings (i.e. like checking in, seeing what's up) You are making fun of the generic names for tech companies but as you said (probably sarcastically) naming is hard. Imagine you have an idea for an amazing product but can't come up with a good name, should you drop your idea and give up or just copy the style of names everyone else is doing?
Tho.ts would be hilarious and awesome, but not PC. Pin.gz / pin.gs seems good and accurate. But I think abstract is better, e.g. pon.ys or poni.es, shotz I also like blu.rp but it's admittedly gross sounding, can you imagine the media quoting this? "Shakira sent this blurp:" Me neither. Almost as bad and gassy sounding as the masta "toot" thing. If you think about it out of context (forget for a second that it exists…
"poni.se" sounds like "Ponzi Scam"
I do like your recommendation of "shotz" like "Let me take a shot at this by offering a comment on the situation"

#17I have even idea to make it ad free.
1) it will have plans free, newbie, pro 2) free plan gets 10 tweets/month 3) newbie (1$/month) - 100 tweets/month 4) pro 5$/month - 1000 tweets/ month

#18I'm not sure that anyone could create another Twitter. Not from a technical standpoint, but from building a userbase. The X-factor for Twitter, from my observations, was that they used established media as their biggest advert or ambassadors. This was kind-of organic, though making tweets easy to embed was surely one of the biggest part of it. The value of the free advertising Twitter has received from publicity in m…
Normally yes building the userbase is the hardest part but I believe this is a "fork" in the road where a massive ideological difference exist between 2 camps such that you could convince a huge portion of users to migrate. An crypto example would be Ethereum and Ethereum classic.
