I am seeing more and more pop-up these days giving people more options instead of being stuck with Facebook or Twitter. I don't like either platform myself, I mainly just stick to forums like this one these days. I have joined a few of the newer ones as they have popped up but they don't seem very active.

What are your thoughts on social media platform alternatives?

I think most alternatives don't expand beyond a certain region. For example vk.com is the facebook alternative in Russia but not used outside.

Most of the conversations go through Discord these days. And their alternative is Guilded, and it seems great, but sucks as a platform. it's more confusing and almost nobody is using it.

And while Signal and those sorts of services are there also, I honestly know nobody that uses it. I never end up sharing on them, or talking to people on them.
