I think the problem with twitter clones is that they're free speech absolutist, which in principal is good, but it obviously attracts the worst and others get turned off. I checked out alternatives and regularly within the first page you can see truly cringy stuff (name your -ism). How about an alternative that just has a sensible policy about what can and can't be posted? Or a "bring your own filter" feature where you can pick your filter and discover algo, and people can create open-source or private versions you can pick from. Want the wild west? There's a filter for that. Want something like twitter but without inflammatory politics? How about twitter with slightly looser censorship? All could be crowdsourced filters

But it has to be easy. No separate domains or configurations. One shared global state but you can swap out rules.
