It erks me that online articles talking about Twitter alternatives mention Mastodon, and others I haven't ever heard like, Hive Social, Post, but they dont mention us at Counter.Social
Ungh! Dangit!
That's why I usually take the time to remind them in the comments that counter.social is a great replacement for twitter. The Hive is making moves, but currently they are mobile only, anyone can use the same @ and I highly doubt they have very good security.
