Update: Since sending this letter and writing this site, news has been published that you have entered into an agreement to purchase Parler. Please consider federating the service, lest it become another targetable, censorable, walled garden.
You should have your own Fediverse server, potentially here at ye.social. You don't need corporate platforms, and the people don't either.
Fediverse accounts are addressed similar to emails, e.g., @kan@ye.social.
Because the network is federated (like email), accounts and posts on one instance can be seen and interacted with from other federated instances.

Jack Dorsey:
Yes, a new platform is needed. It can't be a company. This is why I left.
Elon Musk:
Ok
What should it look like?
Jack Dorsey:
I believe it must be an open source protocol, funded by a foundation of sorts that
doesn't own the protocol, only advances it. A bit like what Signal has done. It can't have
an advertising model. Otherwise you have surface area that governments and advertisers will
try to influence and control. If it has a centralized entity behind it, it will be attacked.
This isn't complicated work, it just has to be done right so it's resilient to what has
happened to twitter.
