Twitter may not be the biggest or even one of the biggest social media platforms, it has undeniable power where the most powerful mingles with the 99% on an almost equal footing. Where else can you send a message publicly and directly to Jeff Bezos? In addition, it allows users to connect to accounts that provide a lot of useful information, if you can sift through the noise.
However, with the recent takeover by Elon Musk, and his erratic and objectionable actions and personality, many have started looking for alternatives. This is perfectly understandable, given his decision to reinstate Donald Trump, and for gems such as this:
At the moment, there are 3 top alternatives
Mastodon
Hive
Post
Of the 3, Mastodon is the most like Twitter, but with important differences.
For information on the 3 options, refer to this article from NPR
For those @Fintwit and #econtwit users moving to Mastodon and would like to reconnect to popular Twitter accounts that are on Mastodon as well, this will help. Note that not all accounts are active. Some look like mere placeholders as a backup in case Twitter goes down, some are cross-posting on both Mastodon and Twitter.
