As soon as it's active on Android I'll check it out (it's not yet, though, as others have noted, it lets you install the app). Meantime, if you're looking for a Twitter alternative, I suggest Mastodon. I'd love to see more journos over there. I give Twitter another 6 months, tops. So much aggregrated news I read right now is just links to Twitter. Journalism is going to change drastically once Musk finishes his destruction of that platform. I am hopeful that a platform like Mastodon (doesn't have to be Mastodon!) can pick up some of the pieces.
Aw heck I'm Android and it doesn't look like they let you reply on the web either. So if it's okay I'll introduce here (if you'd rather not feel free to delete)
This is fun timing because I just today got back from my naturalization interview (and passed so all that's left is the oath ceremony!) I am Canadian born and raised but have lived the US since 2016. Even before then I had an unhealthy obsession with American politics. At first it was funny, then it became more and more heartbreaking. Now I may have a vote only after it's too late to matter. We'll see!
I have a newsletter I try to update once or twice a month, Welcome to Elle - https://welcometoelle.substack.com/ - where my target areas are American and Canadian politics, critical thinking, and tech. I like sources so you'll usually find a healthy dose of them in each post. For me I have to believe facts and reality still matter, so I do my best to rely on that in my writing.
It hasn't made it into my newsletter but I'm also a lifelong baseball fan both watching and playing (though I'm old enough now that co-ed slowpitch is exciting enough for me). So I appreciate when it pops into Parker's writing and feed.
Thank you for the space and I'm excited for once I'm able to actually be part of the chat.
Hopefully it rolls to Android or desktop soon. I'm kinda bummed about Twitter almost certainly dying, but I am kind of excited to see everyone quickly erecting all these new spaces and projects. It's a sad but exciting time.

I love that they let me update my app so I can see chat, but I can't actually chat because I'm on Android :cry: Ahhhh well
