Two former Twitter employees announced the creation of a new social platform, Spill, designed as an alternative to the bird app catering to "culture drivers" and serving as a refuge for creators from Black Twitter.

Alphonzo "Phonz" Terrell and DeVaris Brown told TechCrunch that Spill is intended to be "a real-time conversational platform that puts culture first" when it launches in January.
