    This is an idea I've had for a while. Given recent events, I decided to finally implement it and see what happens. I assume if it gets any traction it will be banned. The bigger picture here is that Twitter's network of users and follow lists is potentially reverse-engineerable. Why not take that network graph and implement it in the Fediverse?
