[liberationtech] Wealthy entrepreneurs ask whether you would use a Liberationtech-friendly Twitter clone?

[Jenny Ryan]

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).
