Twitter users have some ideas of where they might be able to go in a world in which Twitter doesn’t exist, or at least one in which Twitter doesn’t resemble the service it once was. Here are some widely mentioned alternatives:
Users began fretting about the end of Twitter as soon as Tesla Inc. TSLA, -6.84% CEO Elon Musk announced plans to purchase the service earlier this year, when he teased a more lax approach to content moderation. But many Twitter users have been bracing to say goodbye with more urgency over the last several days, after Musk followed up mass layoffs by asking remaining employees to either consent to long hours or take severance pay.
Twitter, which is said to have largely disbanded its press team, didn’t immediately respond to a MarketWatch request for comment on the number of employees that chose the severance package.The problem is that Twitter, which had more 237 million monetizable daily active users as of the June quarter, isn’t easy to replace. Yes, there are other big platforms where people can go to connect online, including Facebook and Instagram, both owned by Meta Platforms Inc. META, -1.
Hive Social Another emerging platform, Hive Social says it’s “bringing back what you used to love about social media in a new way.” That said, it has many of the same features as Twitter , with a chronological feed of posts. The Pocket-lint tech website notes that while it doesn’t ban “Not Safe For Work” content, it “does insist that it be tagged as ‘NSFW’ in order to have it redacted for accounts held by minors.
Plurk Describing itself as “a really snazzy site that allows you to showcase the events that make up your life in deliciously digestible chunks,” Plurk has a playful orientation. LifeWire calls it the platform most similar to Twitter, pointing to the fact that “you’ll find people discussing a broad range of mundane topics from knitting to Netflix.” Headquartered in Taiwan, Plurk houses many discussions focused on “Asian pop culture,” according to LifeWire.
