I've spent a fair amount of time on many of the Twitter alternatives and this one is the best. There's a level of simplicity and authenticity that doesn't exist among any of them. Many can best be described as "odd."
Hive has a user interface and algorithm problem. You are tossed into an echo chamber the moment you join. Tribel is Occupy Democrats and asks for a weird amount of personal information. I faked all that and it is basically far-left Twitter. Mastodon has a federated timeline that scrolls so fast as to be useless, and also has an impersonation and moderation problem. Abuse on all of them is amlost completely unchecked.
I am not sure what their appeal is when this place is here.
@sock I've never been on Mastadon and have no desire to do so...
@sock Thanks for the research notes!
@sock Thanks for checking the other sites out. I didn't go with Tribel because they are grifters. I like Counter Social.
You are a smart sock 🤣
@sock I'm glad you're enjoying it here! :)
Dont listen to a sock, of course. It is a free internet and you can be where you want to be. I looked into those though and I am glad to be here.
