Many people fleeing the birdsite have said they are creating accounts on Counter.Social along with Bluesky, Tribel, and Mastodon. Please take a moment to read about each one, and ask yourself whether or not you think your privacy and safety will be protected on these other platforms.

I'm staying away from the other social media sites after reading up on them.
@HistoricWitness
There might possibly be other good ones, but the 3 above I would be wary of, at the least.
@voltronic I chose CounterSocial because I read the T&C, privacy policy, and FAQ, and I recognized a whole different beast from any I'd seen before. Been here three days and I'm really liking it. #twitterrefugee
@CheekyGinger @voltronic and I chose it bc you said it was ok. I’m diggin it, too. 😀
@voltronic I signed up for Tribel, deactivated it within 48 hrs. That place was horrid
@DCliffo @voltronic Thanks. I was thinking about Tribel and held off. I haven't heard anything good about that platform.
@voltronic thank you for the info 🙏🏼
@voltronic if people are signing up for all those sites maybe they don’t belong here. I don’t want to see a lot of bullshit gloating over here.
@voltronic , soo whats your advise?
@Jermain78
You're kidding, right? You found the right place already!
@voltronic those tweets are how I ended up here.
@voltronic. Thank you.. I am very wary of some of them and admittedly confused. It's a big adjustment.
@Cherokeesher
Understandable, because Tribel and Bluesky don't really advertise these points.
@voltronic
And then ask yourself if "Tribel" doesn't sound a little well tribal. I've seen some of the posts on that site, they weren't pretty..
@voltronic
With Jester at the helm of CoSo, i KNOW I'm protected.
Feel safe and comforted.
Nice feeling.
