Alternative to Twitter / X

[MargoLivebetter]

I love the concept of Twitter but I'm increasingly disliking it. Are there any other options out there that are similar?

Some people have moved from twitter to BlueSky (bsky.app) but it simply doesn't have the depth of cultural penetration that txitter has so you aren't really communication with many people.

My husband is looking at Bluesky. The other option he mentioned is Mastodon. I am also thinking of deleting my X account, and would probably not bother to migrate anywhere else. No other platform will ever have the reach Twitter had, which was why it was appealing to me in the first place, in spite of the extremely dodgy moderation.

I left twitter once musk let all the fascists back on. Katie Hopkins, Farage, Tommy Lennon Robin's, etc. It's an unmoderated cess pit driving division and hatred. I did try threads but not much was happening. Tiktok is more informative if you're good on fact checking and also very funny. Just steer clear of the dark side.

Have just deactivated my twitter account so following with interest.

I've moved to BlueSky. I tried Mastodon but couldn't work it out.

I'm finding Bluesky is finally picking up, it's the most like early Twitter although currently not so good on rolling news. But I think I'm comparing heyday twitter and that took years to get to that stage. I'm learning to love a nicer clean feed though.

Threads is picking up too, but it randomly cross-posts to Facebook and Instagram, and puts the most random folk in your feed.

I do have a Bluesky account but it's in thrall to trans rights activists who hate feminism and insist people can change sex. There's also a dominance of weird, edgy humour that quickly gets too much.

Yeah, they used to turn up a lot on my feed too, but I mute them all as they appear and the algorithm has finally cottoned on that I'm not interested.
