So I found out that this so called 'Twitter alternative' called Gab is now out for beta testing with open registration.
Yeah... no thanks. That site ins't just going to work, simply because instant social media in general is a mistake.
When you have a platform that not only allows, but ENCOURAGES reactive posts you'll always end up with the same bullshit that has already ruined twitter (because who wants to be commenter no 777 when you can be no 1, right?). The short message length, and the mindless habits it instills, doens't help either.
Screw any social media solution that hinders thoughtful discussion and favors the vapid.
