Dos_Box Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Well, if you fancy a bit of 'smash the state' that is. Apparently those naughty Wall Street protesters have been using a new messaging client called Vibe which sends anonymous time limited messages. You can read more on it at The Register here: Anonymous Twitter alternative developed for rioters ? The Register and the comments are well worth a read. My favorite so far is: Yeah, smash the capitalist pigs' system with the aid of your iPhone, then blog about it on your £1500 macbook. Yup, it's iPhone only (currently). But hey, if it's anonymous who'd want to use that? I thought the whole point of Twitter was that users could say thinks like 'I caused that gridlock in central London when I accidentally Tweeted that the A40 was closed due to an accident when in fact I just saw an old lady drop a bag on a side street off Euston Road and it held up a car for 30 seconds. What a laugh'. Or somesuch.
MatthewL Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I have Viber on my Android which is also in use on iPhone, is it the same thing?
Dos_Box Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 No, I looked. It's 'Vibe' and can be found here on the App Store: App Store - Vibe

6Foot2 Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 Perhaps another Twitter alternative has arisen: Link 1: GAB | Free Speech for Everyone Link 2: Gab: The pro-free speech social network alternative to Twitter is here | catchnews ...Launched in August, Gab.ai is still in its beta phase with a pretty long list of people waiting to get in. With near-total freedom of speech, this platform is attracting users by the thousands. As of 16 November, when this reporter tried to sign up, he was #127177 on the waiting list. 25-year-old Andrew Torba, a Silicon Valley-based Trump supporter, founded the social network as an alternative to Facebook and Twitter. Gab's hashtag is #SpeakFreely...

sparkeh Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 Remains to be seen if 'free speech' actually means 'hate speech' 1
