Twitter alternatives

We all know Twitter (𝕏) isn’t the only game in town. Sure, there’s no app that does exactly what Twitter does, but there are other social platforms that could easily fit into your daily scroll if you’re looking to take a break from Twitter for any reason (and let’s be honest, there are a ton of reasons to switch things up). With everything going on at Twitter lately—like brands pulling their ads and some pretty sketchy characters making a comeback—it’s a great time to think about what we really want from our social media experiences. It’s a moment to reassess how these platforms fit into our lives.

We don’t have to stick with social apps just because they’re popular or super addictive. It’s important to find platforms that actually offer something worthwhile, especially when they’re ad-supported. Whether you want to grow your side hustle or connect with people who vibe with your interests, social media should have a purpose—not just gobble up your free time.
