2) First, no, I haven’t been hacked. I already gave out this number last week on a podcast w/ @funder. And yes it is a direct number that I can see your text messages & reply to you individually. I’m giving it out because I can communicate more directly w/out Twitter algorithms.

3) And there are often topics not relevant for all public audiences. Hence when you text me at +1 (703) 552-5771, please say hi, a little about yourself + keyword(s): COVID, politics, Europe, LATAM, Virginia, nutrition, health, tech, globalhealth, airlinemiles, *misinformation*

4) ‘MISINFORMATION’ keyword is important - often a dangerous falsehood can circle the
3 times around before debunking/corrections has chance to get its boots on. That’s why I want to use this to quickly debunk misinformation without being at whim of social media algorithms.Show this thread -
5) And please be kind, don’t be rude or mean (or I will block), and don’t spam. I want to simply update folks & get quick feedback offline. And you can unsubscribe at any time. If you want to join me: please text me at +1 (703) 552-5771 and say hello + any keywords. Thanks. ~EFD

6) Current the SMS number only works for US and Canada phone numbers. The other good way to stay updated is to set the “ALERT” notification when you follow on Twitter. You can either get push notification or an SMS from twitter depending on your settings.

Yeah but don’t want to ask for money right now, maybe down the road only for public health things. Nobody pays me to tweet anything. I don’t want to be paid by anyone either. Just cleaner.
