Pebble, the Twitter alternative previously known as T2, is shutting down

Pebble, formerly known as T2, is shutting down due to competition from other Twitter alternatives. The app had a small but engaged user base, but struggled to compete with established organizations and newcomers. Despite its approach to moderation and focus on trust and safety, Pebble failed to achieve significant growth. The founders believe they may have positioned the platform too far into the 'kindness' territory. Pebble did not experience the same controversies as other federated platforms. The lack of a native mobile app and the rebranding from T2 to Pebble may have also hindered its success.
