Hey Ev, I appreciate you taking the time to reply. But Twitter had a decentralized model that allowed everyone to win and the company slowly cut it off after establishing its foothold. I can think of at least a dozen products I used regularly that either went under or had to remove Twitter support because of changes to the Twitter API intended to force people onto the Twitter apps.

Being able to turn tweets into NFTs isn't going to help "everyone win." It's going to help a very select group of people with the means to significantly invest in crypto. And it's completely irrelevant to the interoperability of Twitter today.

As I mentioned at the end of my post, I was suspended from Twitter because Twitter takes the side of Verified racists over the people they orchestrate harassment campaigns against. That's Twitter's prerogative I guess, but I couldn't even download my own content, which Twitter claims I own the copyright to in its TOS, after being suspended. They stole 13 years of writing from me. If Twitter had allowed me to syndicate my own content, I could have had a backup. Instead, I have nothing.
