Oh no who could've possibly seen this coming? Literally everyone, it turns out.

That's two twitter clones from two tech billionaires in just six months. Capitalism truly breeds innovation.

What's the other Twitter clone (other than Threads)?

Good read. I love that suburb meme as an analogy of what the internet is going to look like. IMO it's already there.

Thank you :D I also thought it was a good analogy, especially since we've just accepted it as inevitable. Even with all the urbanism revival enthusiasm on the internet, they never push for beauty, just practical stuff like walkability, public transit, etc. It's good stuff, but I want bread and roses too.

And yes, it's getting there fast, if it's not already there. I remember in 2015, when people still loved google, and I started talking about what I then called "The Apple Crisp Problem." In a span of just a couple years, googling recipes went from super useful to entirely SEO blogs of maybe-not-real women in their late thirties named "Kate" taking their dog named "Pancake" to the orchard to pick the perfect apples for her also-not-real nana's apple crisp recipe. Recipes were one of the leading indicators. Now it's just everything. Super lame.
