"As Twitter continues to circle the drain, many people are already heading for
the doors looking for a new online home. The good news is there are many other
social networks. The bad news is none of them are complete Twitter
replacements.
So, first things first. You need to set your expectations. For example, no
matter where you go, you won't find all your friends, followers, or social
media leaders. While it appears Mastodon is attracting the most people to date,
popular figures are scattering all over the social internet. For example, Ryan
Reynolds, aka Marvel's Deadpool, is now making his virtual home on the
old-school Tumblr network.
Each network's user interface and features differ from one another. For
instance, it's relatively easy to find people on Twitter, but it can be quite
difficult on Mastodon or Diaspora. That's because they run on independent
servers, aka pods or instances. Twitter, and most other social networks, run on
centralized cloud services."
Via Steven Vaughan-Nichols, who wrote "My shortlist–for now–is Counter.Social,
Diaspora, Mastodon, and Tumblr. But, more are on their way, and none of them
are exact matches."
