There’s no ads, bots, trolls or anything else to get in the way of meaningful, spirited and even fun discussions. Just like Twitter used to be a long time ago.
If you’re ready to make the jump, check out some of these Starter Packs. A Starter Pack is a curated list of people that you can follow with a single click. This makes it easy to populate your feed in just seconds - something that typically takes time and effort on any social platform.

And yes, of course Mark Hamill already has an account there!
