Multitude of users are migrating to homegrown Twitter lookalike Koo including government accounts after Twitter recently did not adhere to Indian government's order to suspend/withhold a series of (far-)left prominent accounts which were spreading inflammatory and misleading information to mobilise agitators against the government.

Whats quite funny is that Koo sounds like coup. I'd actually support Twitter on this except for Twitter's stark hypocrisy.

I think the attempt was made to draw parallel between 'tweet' and 'coo', sounds birds make. Well, you may support a platform or not, it's just that the monopoly they have in their fields is what boosts their authority. It is great to see alternatives popping up and eating their unchallenged marketshare eventually. Let the free market restore balance. 😌
