😼 Leaving Twitter?

“Wasn’t Twitter supposed to die now by now or something…” quipped Elon Musk. He was responding to conjecture from critics... [Product Hunt]( [Read in browser]( It’s time to talk about the woolly mammoth in the room. People are looking for alternatives to Twitter (Did it come up at your Thanksgiving table, Americans?). Let’s discuss your options.

He was responding to conjecture from critics that the site would soon begin breaking down after laying off roughly half of the company (and counting). And also to the celebrities and regular folk who have threatened to leave the platform. But according to Elon, everything is going great, with Twitter usage at an [all-time high](. Whether Twitter’s surge will survive when the World Cup is over remains to be seen. Some of us will stick around because we just love the platform. Others will too, just to see what happens next. The buzziest competitor: There’s no doubt that people are looking around for a Twitter alternative. [Mastodon]( has been one of the headlining alternatives (yes, we know mastodons actually pre-date the woolly mammoth, don’t @ me). Nearly 180,000 [people joined]( Mastodon in a single day last week. People like it because it's decentralized and open-source, but plenty of new adopters have [said online]( that the learning curve was large. The old guy: Legacy social platforms want-in on the traffic too. [Tumblr](’s worldwide downloads have surged 77% since Twitter’s acquisition. [Matt Mullenweg]( has been [positioning]( Tumblr to "be a better Twitter than Twitter ever was.” This week he [revealed]( via Twitter that Tumblr is adding support for the ActivityPub protocol that powers Mastodon. The newcomers: Right now, it feels like social media has become more chaotic than anyone could have predicted. If that continues, perhaps it’s anyone’s game, so let’s recap new players. - On [Mastodon]( you can post, create or join servers/Instances (e.g. like ones for foodies), and do it all ad-free. - [Hive Social]( offers a chronological feed and other features you liked from the good ol’ days. - [Truth Social]( is, yep, Trump’s social app. And [apparently](, he’s in no rush to return to Twitter. - [Herd Social]( matches you with members with like interests. - [HeyCafe]( is built to be “a safe place for people to hang out.” It has no ads, no promoted content, and just launched its latest update. Btw, Elon [might not actually care]( what you do anyway. [A safe place on social]( PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT - [Barbell]( puts a tiny newsfeed in your macOS bar to track Hackernews, Reddit, or Twitter easily. - [Vimkey]( lets you use your keyboard to control your browser, navigation, scroll, and more. - [Books Billionaire Read]( lets you see what the 1% of the 1% recommend to read. - New to AI art?
