Twitter Alternatives
1. Discord
Discord has evolved into a platform where you can create a ‘Server’ to discuss almost any topic you want. Launched in 2015, it allows users to become part of a community via text, voice and video, as long as they join the relevant Server and follow their rules. You can keep in touch with users through video. It also integrates with Steam, Xbox, and your PlayStation profile, so gamers can also discuss games and their series.
2. Mastodon
This one is quite similar to Twitter. You can join multiple Servers on Mastodon. It mimics the layout of Twitter. Additionally, users can also discover news and hashtags, then follow and ‘push’ Mastodon to repost.
3. Reddit
It’s a bulletin board website filled with news and user-generated posts and posts. You can ‘for’ and ‘against’ these articles. Your reaction to any post is shown in the growing list of ‘subreddits’ and it will tell you how popular those posts are with others.
While the platform doesn’t have a scrolling feed, you can follow subreddits. The home page will show you a sorted list of all those topics based on how new and popular they were during the day.
