This is true, and I stated in a Twitter Space before launching Spoutible that we wouldn't be able to succeed without Black and LGBTQ+ voices on the platform. To be 100% transparent, I would rather have more Black and LGBTQ+ accounts here than "notable accounts."

I went to twitter at the time because I knew it had the largest percentage of active Black users. Those users made that site, long before the big names showed up. I lurked around for a long time and observed. Without Black twitter, twitter would be nothing.

I would rather see ordinary people engaging and having those conversations around race, LGBTQ+ rights, gender equality, politics...etc., than someone just spouting to promote themselves and not engage at all with the community.

I understand and agree about the blue checks (someone made a reference on Spoutible that is was akin to Sneetches with and without stars)…
But what would draw platforms and content makers (like news notaries) and how do we amplify the information so we can have a meaningful interaction

I think Bouzy's gonna have to change the LIKE button. Right now it seems to me like lots of good content just dies immediately because people LIKE it but there's no benefit to sustaining the life of the post. Echoing doesn't seem to be the answer cuz then I see it over & over without comment.

We are coming up with ideas out of context. I am at fault as well.🤷🏼‍♀️
My guess is @cbouzy and his team will find the best way forward🤞

I have the same concern. I Like spouts prodigiously, but whenever I appreciate a spout enough to associate with it & expand its visibility, I also comment or echo or quote-spout. People who have echoes turned off won't even see echoes. Do they see quote-spouts or only original spouts?
