An interesting reaction by the global community to bans, censorships and temper tantrums disrupting popular social networks, twitter case in point, is the development of clever workarounds. Mast is case in point, revival of tumblr / Wordpress, creation of new alternatives such as post news / substack, etc and reading about twitter’s policy I learned about nostr, which is also clever. I don’t think I’ll use it but that’s not the point - because it is built to work when content is censored.
It’s almost as though along with “competition is sometimes a good thing”, we should also say “destruction of a popular service is sometimes a good thing”, because worthy alternatives rise to the challenge.
