I ve seen people talking about owning their twitter audience but the suggestion was to move away from twitter and towards self-hosting. Substack is promoted as a temporary in-between. Interesting that twitter thinks authors want to lock long-form content in there. What happens after the inevitable next Purge?

Most authors are not going to be "purged" full stop.

The good ones won't go to a platform that purges speech. It may be OK for content marketers, but i don't see journalists that don't like to mince their words (e.g. greenwald) choosing to host their content on twitter.

Greenwald is an avid Twitter user, and is hardly in any danger of being de platformed for any of his views.

"Most" definitely messes with the business model. The requirement is for only enough to get everyone else to fall in line. It also helps to make selections idiosyncraticly arbitrary to maintain strategic ambiguity instead of drawing a clear line.
