The closest I've found to Twitter alternative, after trying many: nostr, Bluesky and Mastodon, is hands down with a landslide MASTODON. Bluesky is still... Meh . Nostr is just a bunch of maximilasits bitcoiners jerking each other off. Mastodon on the other hand, though still niche, if you join the appropriate instance, it could actually serve as a perfect alternative to Twitter, where you can find the latest news, trends and have an idea of what's going on in the world around you. Nostr is fun, I have to admit but there is no real conversations going on there except memes and randos begging for zaps ( bitcoin tips).

You're right about nostr. I haven't tried mastodon yet; I hear it's mainly used by techies. I've given up on blue sky because I never got an invite. I'll try threads when it's available on Thursday.

You are lucky. My email is on the waiting list for Bluesky for decades!

I'm really feeling Nostr but that has almost entirely to do with the fact I like bitcoin because, yes, mostly maxis and rando memes around here for the time being. I truly hope normal people come around, because Mastodon and BlueSky are both meh imo
