Where's the action? Which is best or most popular Twitter alternative? Blue Sky, Spoutible, Mastodon *

Threads, Reddit, Discord... something else?

Because social media sites are much more useful when "everyone" uses them, it’s very hard to dethrone an incumbent platform like Twitter. But this phenomenon also means that, if users start to leave Twitter en masse as a result of Musk’s influence, another site could take Twitter’s place fairly rapidly.

Which one will it be? Where should I go?

1. Bluesky is the most twitter-like,

without all the trolls. I think most are going there. You can pick from interest groups to find your peeps.

Mastodon is decentralized, making it resilient to attacks, but also harder to find out what's happening and to find people. Also, no algorithm, so getting boosted (retweeted) is the only way to get your content in front of people.

Threads is based on Instagram data, so you need an IG account to get started. I hate the autoplay videos…no way to turn that off. Have not tried Spoutible.

2. Autoplay videos is a non-starter... showstopper... for me.

Thanks for the heads up.

3. Blue Sky is based...

...on Mastodon platform.

It is very Twitter-like - Pre-Eloon.

It is experiencing exponential growth post election.

It is the best Xitter alternative IMHO
