I've heard about a lot of accounts being deleted or suspended over the last two weeks. Twitter does selective enforcement periodically where they'll run a scan and suspend or delete thousands of accounts. I imagine its related to the new CEO.
Traditional blockchains don't let you store a lot of data and obviously writing to the block chain is expensive. But is there a blockchain or maybe something else (ipfs?) that allows you to store data cheaply? In that case someone could develop what people originally hoped twitter would be: an protocol for short micro-blogs. Imagine someone that breaks the terms of Twitter could migrate all their tweets easily to another provider, or another provider could just reference them. Twitter could still be a thing, essentially a curation service, feed algorithm, moderation service, etc. But your data wouldn't belong to them.
