Groupthink is a phenomenon that occurs when a group of individuals reaches a consensus without critical reasoning or evaluation of the consequences or alternatives. Groupthink is based on a common desire not to upset the balance of a group of people.

(noun) In a group, the tendency for individuals to uncritically agree to any decisions due to conformity.

TBH, I can take or leave Twitter since it's not as specialized towards my interests as I like, but a lot of the passionate pro learning/pro open-source tweeters that I do like are the type to jump ship quickly

he needs to add location/geo search and the 'advanced search' doesn't do anything.
the site is a bit slow but I don't know if that because of traffic or by design.

Search spouts, pods, news, & people...

Spoutible's goal is to allow users to spout off while mitigating targeted harassment, threats of violence, racism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, rampant misogyny, mis/disinformation, and platform manipulation.

Finally made the plunge today.

Decided I can't sit back and enable Twitter as it turns into a racist, bigoted trash heap. I also realized that I'd rather sacrifice the size of Twitter for a more friendly community

I redirect all Twitter content through Nitter.net, and I have used RSS to save the feeds of those that are still on Twitter.

I get why they don't have a 'like' button, but it really feels like you're shouting into the abyss when there's no clear way to co-sign content w/o cluttering up other people's newsfeed via 'share'. My like:share ratio on typical social media site is like 1:1000 because I don't post content and therefore don't have any followers to share content with.

I guess I can show support by sharing content to my zero followers, but it seems pointless
