Twitter (and Mastodon) alternative

[6Foot2]

Noam Bardin (Waze Founder) is starting up a Twitter alternative:

Meet Post: A Social Platform for Real People, Real News, and Civil Conversations

 

Remember when social media was fun, introduced you to big ideas and cool people, and actually made you smarter? Remember when it didn't waste your time and make you angry or sad? When you could disagree with someone without being threatened or insulted? We want to bring that back with Post.

 

We believe that all humans are created equal, endowed with unalienable rights that include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, regardless of their gender, religion, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, net worth, or beliefs.

 

If you do not agree with this principle, Post is not for you. We believe in freedom of speech and will oppose any government's attempt to censor speech on our platform. However, we have rules, which we plan to rigorously enforce via content moderation, with the help of our community.

 

Post will be a civil place to debate ideas; learn from experts, journalists, individual creators, and each other; converse freely; and have some fun. Many of today's ad-based platforms rely on capturing attention at any cost — sowing chaos in our society, amplifying the extremes, and muting the moderates. Post is designed to give the voice back to the sidelined majority; there are enough platforms for extremists, and we cannot relinquish the town square to them.

 

We know that this is a lofty goal, that the world is endlessly complex, that there is no “right” answer to many of these questions. We acknowledge that we will make many mistakes, but we promise to listen and be responsive to our community.

 

So what can I actually do on Post?

 

• Write posts of any length and share them broadly
  
• Comment, like, share, and repost content with your opinion
  
• Buy individual articles from different premium news providers so you can access multiple perspectives, not just the the ones you're subscribed to
  
• Read content from various sources in a clean interface without jumping to different websites
  
• Have meaningful discussions with friends, strangers, experts, and leaders
  
• Tip creators of engaging content to help them create more of it, via integrated micro-payments

If this sounds good to you, please join our waitlist. We are just getting started so we are missing many features, working through bugs, and just beginning to deliver our vision. Please be patient with us and help us build a kinder, more interesting place that represents our better selves.

 

Regards,

Noam and Team Post

I'm seeing a few people on Twitter move to Hive now as well - https://www.hivesocial.app/

 

I started a Mastodon profile but I've not really looked at it since. The idea of having to find everyone from Twitter again (if they have a profile) is not appealing in the slightest.

Just post something that will wind people up and you'll soon fine them.

The Earth is flat.

Better end this before this thread is pushed over the edge by a moderator for deviation.
