Ugh.. This new twitter migration is giving me a headache. I have been deep diving into website alternatives. Here's the things I have found. Tried to take them in the order I would use, although that's is wholly my opinion

Tumblr

I'm gonna keep being on tumblr. Wether or not I go to other sites. While tumblr shows sign of being "algorithmd" it's all optional. So as long as it stays that way I have no reason to leave

Pillowfort

I have actually not found anything bad on this one. It also seems to be owned by a company which is great. It even started on Tumblr! Either way, it's small for now and because of how non-algorithmd it seems to be they don't seem to be very business first. Which is good for usage! Bad for growth.

I'll probably join this one, I'll come back to this thread if I find something bad I guess

Vtubers.me

This seems like an okay alternative, has been running for a while too. Sadly it is 100% owned by 1 person. Which will always have the same issues of sudden implosion, stupid standards or simple malpractice.

This person has been under fire due to a drama fight with a trans person. For the most part it seems resolved, but it has shown a couple of red flags. Example that they seem to have very weird views on trans, while not outright malicious they seem very uninformed and for example against transkids.. They are also EXTREMELY personally involved in their product. As to say they could totally ban you for disagreeing with you.

I would however rather bet on 1 random person than 1 random rich person trying to cash grab. Sadly the website itself is more targeted to Vtubers than Vtuber audiences so it has a very niche reach

Co-Host

These weirdos will tell you nothing. They run fully on charity and for some reason people accept "not telling you how we control and decide things worth" as a positive?!?! Anyway, they are very selective with accounts and very secretive about all innerworkings of the site. I would not trust, but nothing EXCEPTIONALLY bad has come forth yet. I.e. Nothing bad but nothing good either.

Mastodon

While a great server hosting program it is no different than being on private forums. Any owner has FULL control of all content therein. This includes if someone wants to do something less than legal on their server as Mastodon themselves takes NO responsibility for their content.

Have not found any group owned servers yet although this for sure isn't the worst alternative

Spoutible

Yeah.. This is just Twitter but Black. As in the owner is still a too rich, soulless, micromanaging, manipulating, criticism flaming pile of poop, but black this time...

Oh, and has had known crypto dealings

Hive

Stay away from this thing. It's closer to malware than a social media site.

Perdons-nous vraiment internet à la culture de la haine ?

Si t’as pas 6 de qi je fais bien référence à l’article “How Trolls Are Ruining The Internet” publié dans Time.Une des grandes thèses de l’article est que les trolls viennent faire le mal sur internet (Via les moyens habituelles: harcèlement, menaces, etc…).On ne peut pas oublier cette partie des trolls qui peuvent avoir un impacte direct sur leurs victimes. Mais si pour une fois, on arrêtait de chialer ?

Oui, internet permet un certain anonymat, ce qui encourage certaines personnes à agir de manière vicieuse, soyons d’accord, mais ça c’est pas nouveau. Depuis la trentaine d’années qu’internet existe à grande échelle on voit ce problème apparaître seulement à l’heure du réseau social. On pourrait donc partir du simple postulat que le “trolling” nocif dont parle l’article a vraiment débuté avec les réseaux sociaux et l’exposition de nos vies sur internet. Je veux en venir qu’a la place de chialer quand Antoine-Kevin qui envoie un message depuis son mac book, on pourrait faire attention à ce que nous publions sur internet et aux options de sécurités proposé par les sites.

En 7 ans d’utilisation massive d’internet le “trolling nocif” ne s’est présenté qu’une fois (heureusement pas envers moi). Ce trolling étais effectué par un “ami”, si on peut appeler quelqu’un qui nous commande 15 pizzas un ami, donc en soit un canular téléphonique. De manières générales, les options proposées par les réseaux sociaux suffisent à empêcher les “trolls” en les empêchant d’accéder à nos infos personnelles nous protégeant des commentaires mal-placés. 

Un autre point abordé par l’article est la nature politique des trolls, il les dit souvent d’extrême droite. Pourtant, cela s’explique par la nature des propos de l’extrême droite qui paraissent choquant pour un grand nombre de personnes.Le troll veut de l’émotion, du spectacle et quoi de mieux que des bons vieux propos racistes. Si on arrêtait les attitudes de victimes faces à ces propos et les prendre pour ce qu’ils sont vraiment, c’est-à-dire des blagues avec pour but la réaction vive ? Non ces propos ne sont pas pensés par les trolls. 

Pour finir : Mort à Twitter :)
