   @waltercool Discord = scam replacement for IRC.

   Twitter / X = scam replacement for IRC.

   Mastodon = replacement for Twitter / X.

   The Internet rocked back between 1995 - 1999. Why? No one invented his or her own web based replacement for established protocols and clients.

     How is Twitter supposed to be a replacement for IRC? I know the hashtags were inspired by the # notation for IRC channels, but Twitter itself was originally meant for posting "live blog posts" via SMS.

     If anything Twitter is more of a replacement for RSS or the Finger protocol.

     That's what I meant by "live blog posts". Liveblogging is basically asynchronous or real-time (micro)-blogging.

     @xianc78 @waltercool While it is true Twitter founders had SMS limit in mind, the goal was to SMS to WWW and not some SMS central repository.

     IRC = async comm with scroll
     Twitter = async comm with scroll

     They dubbed it as "microblogging" so you could argue it was a replacement for Blogger and WordPress, if anything.
