<p>I wholeheartedly concur with Marc - but would go a bit further to
state that such an idealistic endeavor should be collectively
owned by the people who build and use it, rather than some elite
group of wealthy individuals. And of course should be FLOSS,
decentralized, secure, and offline-first (a la Scuttlebutt).<br>

<div>Dear Liberation Technology community,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A group of wealthy serial entrepreneurs who built a
Twitter clone to foster civic democracy in the 2020
elections just reached out to me to ask whether you
would be interested in using a Liberationtech-friendly
Twitter clone now that Elon Musk has bought Twitter.
They want to know the following:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Would you use a Liberationtech-friendly Twitter
clone?</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

<div>Possibly. <br>
