Wouldn't it be awesome if people boycotted Twitter because of Trump and the company went bankrupt?

Of course App Programmers could stumble into a new job by the afternoon.

    There is already an alternative to Twitter...without the censorship.

    Thanks Boz.
    I have a Twitter account but I don't like it so I will check out the one you posted.

    Fair warning, it has a lot of Trump supporters at the moment.  The owner has repeatedly stated it is open to all and it would really be nice to have more from the center and left join.  I joined it in support of free speech.  It does allow you to self-censor, however, so you can block individuals, topics and language from your feed.

    Maybe we can get some more of the old gang to join.
    I will spread the word.

    I joined but I am on a waiting list that could take a week to be approved.

    Everyone gets in.  It is not instantaneous because it was a small start up that went live while still in beta, due to the large number of Twitter bans, I believe.  When they did, they were overwhelmed with the number of people signing up.  TQ is there, btw.
