Some of you may remember @cbouzy mentioning that he would be featured in a major magazine. Well, this appears to be the one: WIRED magazine.

This is a great article about Bouzy's efforts to build Spoutible as a formidable Twitter alternative. 👇🙂

One part of the WIRED article I disagree with is the notion that the "kindness-first" effort has made Spoutible devoid of sparring, like it's a bad thing.

There is a huge difference between expressing new ideas politely and doing it with malice and hate. We want the former, not the latter.

The WIRED article also hints at disapproval of Spoutible leaning left politically, not being balanced.

What gets you banned from Spoutible is bad behavior, not the political stance itself. Conservatives who interact respectfully are totally welcome. They just haven't decided to come here yet.

In response to Anthony Lee.
We probably could get a little edgier with each other; I had wondered if the political attitudinal homogeneity might put off the two or three ex- and not quite deleted Bird site members I know. We probably need to start seeming worth it as a group to writers & journos to post here.
