> Rome didn't fall in a day.

But a few hours were enough for Pompeii.

There's always hope :)

Why root for it to collapse? Seems like a bizarre thing to hope for (but I’ve never been on Twitter so I’m coming at this from a distance).

Personally I'm rooting for all centralized, corporate, ad-financed tech to collapse and be replaced by open, federated standards.

I am afraid one does not imply the other and that this will also leave room for new centralised company-controlled services.

kalleboo summarized it handsomely.

I really dislike seeing (mega-) corps usurping the public domain, and find it highly offensive and dangerous to democracy.

Twitter isn’t the public square, it’s a private revenue stream for Twitter. It shouldn’t be allowed to sway people into believing it’s a free speech platform, nor should it be used as the public space for official announcements by governments and other authorities.
