Elon Musk now owns Twitter. He promises he won’t make the place a “free-for-all hellscape.” I’m not so sure.
If Musk turns the place into a total nightmare, or you’re quitting Twitter now just on principle, where will you go?
If you don’t use Twitter now, what social media do you use?
Is Mastodon still a thing?
I’m asking partly for selfish reasons; I need to figure out where to go myself if (when?) things deteriorate precipitously on Twitter.
Comments, please!
Follow me on Mastodon.

I’m not going anywhere. I don’t know of any other platform that offers what Twitter does in terms of information from marginalised voices – from all around the world at that – connections I’ve made, music chat and news, beautiful pictures of animals and mountains, all squashed up next to each other in one messy place. I’ve spent years working out how to get the most out of it, I block early and often, I never retweet fascists just to dunk on them. People make communities there despite the hideousness.
@Oogly, thank you! much appreciated 🙂
@David, Discord is super easy, especially if you’re already used to other platforms. And it’s nice to have a more private place to chat to people. We can join the Mammoth one together – I’ll start counting down!
@Alan – always lovely to see you too. Also, lol at homo correctus…
I would need to BE on Twitter first to go anywhere…
If Discord or Mastodon are explained to me in very small words, like I was a Republican, I will join you guys when there’s a consensus reached.
@Etoile: I hope they figure it out soon, and there’s something that will help.
GSS noob
I might follow you on that queue.
