 A> They also removed Malone from Twitter.


He mentioned GETTR as a Twitter alternative. But if it's hosted  
on AWS, Azure or Google, it may have a hard time to exist for  
too long - much like what happened to Parler at one point.  The  
GETTR app could just as easily be removed from the app stores  
too.

Personally, I don't like the Twitter culture. I can't stand  
being tied to a service that needs a constant online connection  
to be useable, and the presentation seems so inefficient with  
screen realestate. I have a fine 14" 4:3 laptop screen.  When I  
adjust the browser view so that I don't see the wasted white- 
space at the L and R sides on the Twitter screen, the most  
messages I can see are 4 single line ones.

See: https://susepaste.org/66111398

If the tweets were single line, I'd rather be able to see at  
least 15 or 20 on one screenful so that I can read them (or  
skip them) faster.

Anyway.. that's my main beef about Twitter, and twitter-like  
platforms. The other thing are the damn hashtags all over some  
messages.

Dr. Malone recounted an incident wrt to him being banned on  
LinkeIN.  Later, the prez of LinkIN apologized and stated "we  
do not have anyone qualified to confirm your medical claims",  
and re-instated the account.  So.. the banning is primarily  
occuring from a political/personal/subjective standpoint.  
Lawsuits are emerging.
