So there's a lot of them out there. I have accounts with none of them... though then again I also don't have a Twitter, Reddit and have an inactive Facebook account but anyways... there seems to be a plethora of social media platforms out there, many of them extolling the virtues of free speech, privacy and other benefits that publishers like Facebook, Twitter and Reddit do not.
Some like Gab have been largely excised by a total non conspiracy of international financial institutions to de-platform them due to their being havens for alt right wrong think, while other platforms like Parler seem more 'mainstream right wing' and then you have a platform like Minds which seems more mainstream and acceptable but also more moderated as well though clearly not as badly curated as mainstream publishers like Twitter.
Then there's Thinkspot which... might be a myth. I have no idea what's going on with Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin's pet project tbh...
Have any of you given any of these platforms a try or have opinions on any or all of them? Are any worth checking out or joining?
