Reacting to the news that Twitter is banning political ads, I’m announcing today that Micro.blog has also banned political ads. And all ads, period. Massive ad-based social networks are unfixable by design. We can do better.
@bix Haha. @jmreekes, I'm mostly joking because Micro.blog has never had ads. Self-promotion is of course fine because people actively choose who they want to follow. System-wide ads will never happen.
@manton “Reacting” 😂 Are you sure you don’t mean that Twitter has finally copied one of your features (just like Instagram is starting to do by hiding the dirty numbers for some accounts)? 😜
@manton thank you for being proactive and having had them removed for our Canadian federal election a few weeks ago 👍😁
