Why Whispy is worth checking out
We know, there's a lot of new social medias emerging, and you might think Whispy is just another one that's destined to fail.
We also know that there might not be a lot of people using it at the beginning, so you're probably wondering why even switch if nobody you know uses it:
Whispy will have tools to move your follows from Twitter/X as they join automatically, there will be crossposting, and you will be able to mix Whispy and X timelines into one home page, so you won't suddenly be lonely while people are still hesistant to move.
This means switching from Twitter/X will be as smooth as possible, you won't lose your friends and people you follow, while at the same time you make Whispy more populated and tempting to join. Also in case Twitter/X completely dies out, your posts will still be here untouched!
