Ok I’m officially on so many “Twitter alternatives” that I don’t even remember them all. 😜 Personally, I think #CounterSocial gives the most Twitter vibe, without the annoying trolls and misinformation. It might be too early to say, but I think CS is my favorite alternative! ♥️ Between the 4 below, which do you prefer?
@EelGM @shanita911 If you like doing that (and I do too) Post might be a good source for that in the future. Many of the people who write news stories are on Post right now.
That said, Post is still in beta so it's still pretty rough around the edges. Definitely not ready for prime time.
@CIWS_35 @shanita911 nope not a chance the VC funding Post is a part owner of Twitter buddy of Elon talking all chummy with him on the bird app and you can’t say bad things about billionaires on post if they don’t want you to according to the user agreement
@EelGM @shanita911 Holy shit, that I didn't know. Thanks for that info.
@CIWS_35 @shanita911 it likely won’t be overt, but their TOS does give them the ability to shut down or remove posts by journalists that rail against the wealthy and their influence, in the same way editors screw with journalists and shape the news
@CIWS_35 @shanita911 Andreessen Horowitz is a curious choice for an investor in a post news the Twitter alternative, given that the venture capitalist contributed $400 million to Musk’s Twitter acquisition.
@shanita911 I like countersocial but I used Twitter primarily as a news aggregator and counter social is basically useless for that so I’m on mastadon for news now
