Flipping the bird
Since the the news broke about Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk purchased Twitter in a deal worth $44 billion Twitter users Twitter have been screaming over the future of their most-loved social media site.
A lot of people are considering to quit the platform in part because of the conduct that Musk has displayed Musk on Twitter as well as the fact that many are flocking to a brand-new platform known as Mastodon in recent months.
They are concerned that the service might under Musk’s direction depart from the path it is now and shift towards the interests of Musk, like NFTs and crypto. But his massive firing of employees of the company as well as his plan to launch a subscription service, Twitter Blue, has already seen users leave already.
Many others are wondering what they can do instead. In this regard Here are three platforms that might provide a solution to Twitter scratch.

It was first launched in the year 2015, Discord(opens in a new tab) lets you join communities via voice, text and video, so long as you sign up to the relevant servers and abide by the rules. If you took an active part on forums of specific websites during the early 2000s You’ll be comfortable here. The forums of the past included topics on which you could start your own threads and post on related topics.
The same is true for Discord however it allows you to stay in touch with your friends via, say videos. Discord also works with Steam, Xbox, and your PlayStation profile, so that you can share with others what is the game that you’re enjoying.
Consider this as a bulletin board website(opens in a new tab) filled with stories and posts written through its readers. It is possible to ‘upvote’ or downvote these posts, and they will appear in a list that is growing of subreddits. These will display how popular these posts are with other users.
