You shouldn't have to retell your trauma every other day because an algorithm may or may not show it to the people who have chosen to see it.

Reason #1 : Twitter can't be duplicated. The feature set might be replicated, but Twitter has nearly two decades of engineering and community built into it. You're not going to find that on any other alternative platform, no matter how cleverly named they are.

"If you do not own a stake in the platform, you can't hold it accountable to you or your community" also applies to Twitter. Have you downloaded your Twitter archives recently?

MTVNews has archived its web site, along with a generation's worth of cultural production. Most people are lamenting this loss by demanding accountability, but my hot take is this: if you do not own a stake in the platform, you can't hold it accountable to you or your community.

We owe it to ourselves to develop digital community institutions that can take care of our work. This is what the web was designed to do: to share knowledge through decentralized publishing.

We built PARIWO as a web application first because it allows us to reach a broader audience immediately. Mobile apps are great, but they contribute to a closed-garden approach to information and archives.

Instead of listening to the the communities that had long been targets of harm on this platform since the first year Twitter existed, way before Leon Musty, people basically stuck their heads in the sand.

@afrolicious Since the pandemic began and since Musty bought this app, so much creative capital from marginalized people has been lost, and we have seen just how viscerally Black lives do NOT matter to this world.

Reason #2 : The community just isn't there. When you move into a new neighborhood, you have one of two options: you either learn to engage with the community that's already there or you try to bring as much of your existing community as possible so you don't feel lonely or siloed.

To take responsibility of this platform, you'd have to recognize that Leon Musty just amplified the margins of harm that affect Black women, queer people, disabled people, and all their intersections the most, and then work to make digital life better for them.

The cool thing about PARIWO’s tech stack is that it can be used to build independent websites and social networks, connecting each of them at the level of the stories they contain. We took the concept of webrings (remembering those?!) and ran with it.

We decided to do something beyond that on PARIWO. We want to create better ways for people to gather online, one that recognizes the tendencies for digital platforms to do material harm and works and the community level to reduce that harm.

@afrolicious Every mechanism that should've kicked in to curb the pandemic failed because people were fine with a mass disabling event that disproportionately impacted BIPOC communities. And a platform that served to carry information that mainstream media did not has become, honestly? Trash.

This platform is owned by a morally obtuse white supremacist. We know the other platforms are manipulating algorithms to curb the spread of truth and people's organizing power. What are we going to do about it?

I haven't even mentioned the way artificial intelligence has warped our trust of information. We are heading into some very weird times where the struggle for the consolidation of power depends on digital platforms' ability to weaponize algorithms to make us all comply.

How, then, do we create better ways to gather a group of strangers online? Can it be done? My brother may not think so, but I think that the same human tendencies to gather can be used to move into a different direction.
