Since billionaire Elon Musk completed a $44 billion deal and took control of the microblogging platform, Twitter has been awash in chaos. The company’s workforce has been cut in half, previously banned accounts have been reinstated, and journalists covering the new Twit Chief have been suspended. Many Twitter users are leaving due to the instability, and new online alternatives like Mastodon, Tumblr, Clubhouse, T2, etc. are developing.

Clubhouse

It is a popular audio-only app that Twitter Spaces overtook. You may create or join conversations on a variety of themes, including Black literature, parenting, sports, and more on the audio-based social networking site. Clubhouse just has users’ profile images and voices, no posts, photographs, or videos.

Mastodon

The social networking site and Twitter have certain similarities, but there are also some significant distinctions. For instance, the equivalent of tweets is formally referred to as “toots.” It is a decentralised social network, which implies that it comprises a network of servers rather than being owned by a single organisation or billionaire. Mastodon has no advertisements and is supported by donations, grants, and other similar methods. In contrast to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter, its feed is also chronological.

We provide a vision of social media that cannot be purchased and owned by any billionaire, according to the Mastodon website, which was cited by the news agency AP. We also want to build a more robust global network free from financial incentives.

Tumblr

The social networking platform has a loyal following and has included irate posts from famous people like Taylor Swift. When the app restricted explicit material in 2018, many users were outraged, according to AP. This platform is for reading lengthier articles, receiving newsletters, and learning more generally. The platforms resemble the early 2000s blog period most likely. Users have access to both paying and joining up. But some authors, artists, and podcasters provide premium content for members who pay a fee.
