I enjoyed Twitter (but I left anyway) Which ONE twitter-alternative would be a good replacement? [View all]

I know that there are several from which to choose, but I really don't want to maintain multiple accounts here-there-and-yon.

Is there just a single, decent, easy-to-use, twitter-alternative that is rewarding and enjoyable? (And that I can use on my desktop computer?)

Is there a consensus yet on which one will emerge on top?

Thank you. Oopsie Daisy Jul 2023 #4

I use Threads. Get a lot of news. Joinfortmill Jul 2023 #2

I'd like to try it when it has a desktop or web-based version. Oopsie Daisy Jul 2023 #5

Depends on what you are looking for. Ms. Toad Jul 2023 #3

I just registered at Post (because of the rec above) and I'm trying to "re-follow" folks Oopsie Daisy Jul 2023 #6

That is my only concern about post - Ms. Toad Jul 2023 #9

I'll just muddle along and plod through until I find something decent. But I won't return to Twitter Oopsie Daisy Jul 2023 #10

I still have an account there. Ms. Toad Jul 2023 #11

Fingers crossed that something comes along or we end up with a definite default winner. Oopsie Daisy Jul 2023 #12

Threads by far obamanut2012 Jul 2023 #7

Sounds promising. I'll be sure to check them out if/when it becomes easily used on a desktop PC Oopsie Daisy Jul 2023 #8

I think I'm settling in at Mastodon Nittersing Jul 2023 #13

Sounds like a great place with all the community interests. I'd also hear about Spoutify, but Oopsie Daisy Jul 2023 #14

I think Threads will get there. nolabear Jul 2023 #15
