Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Twitter's sole server approach makes it a centralized chokepoint that will be pressured. I trust the Twitter server team & CEO understand this.

Describe the solution you'd like
@fiatjaf accurately describes the problems that Twitter is experiencing, why other approaches do not work, and why nostr just might be the answer.

Consider becoming a nostr app, by adopting NIP-01. By transitioning Twitter to nostr, sole censorship decisions no longer rest with Twitter, and can be distributed to many nostr relays.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Do nothing (and continue to suffer threats of censorship, as the sole decision maker).

Additional context
Clearly there is a multiple scale of orders magnitude difference between Twitter, and the nostr protocol AUs and capacity today. I know Twitter server engineers are the best at what they do at scale in the world, and trust yall can readily come up with a way to test a Twitter nostr prototype at tiny scale, and eventually help other nostr relays scale.
