There's also a Jan 31st planned launch for Spoutible. Here's their aims:
Spoutible's mission is to change how social media platforms have operated for over 20 years.
1. The percentage of the female population in the United States is 50.52% compared to 49.48% of the male population. However, women only hold 26.7% of technology jobs. We would start with a diverse team, and the goal would be at least 40% women. For Spoutible to be successful and tackle the issue plaguing every platform, it must start with diversity. Women, people of color, disabled people, and the LGBTQ+ community will play significant roles in shaping the direction of Spoutible.
2. We will never sell our users' personal data, period. We believe selling users' personal data should be prohibited by law, and Spoutible will have a legally binding agreement with our users stipulating we will never sell their personal data.
3. We will prohibit targeted harassment, single-purpose hate accounts, and accounts spreading disinformation on the platform. The days of being swarmed by toxic trolls and flooding platforms with falsehoods are over.
4. Attacking people based on their skin color, who they choose to love, their gender, or what god they worship would be strictly prohibited. The rules will be clear and enforced.
5. We will build better tools to protect our users, and they will be available on day one.
6. When we suspend a person on Spoutible, they will not be allowed to return to continue causing havoc. Permanently suspended means permanently suspended.
Turn and face the strange. Looking forward to the changes. I try to avoid apps. I haven't any added on my phone except the ones it came with. I remember when there were next to no ads on FB. Sigh. Capitalism, tracking, bleh.

Are you trying any Twitter alternatives?
I haven't. I rarely used Twitter. Most of my social media presence is FB.
mutatus mutandum..
I stumbled onto Twitter and never got it, but i had fun.
And then got a crazy stalker, and dad was dying, and it seemed like time to step away from it.
And got back on this June, and have enjoyed it.
Now it feels like the inevitable rope bridge in a jungle acton flick: weak, threadbare and ready to part at the proper dramatic moment.
That it’s occurring as the truth re:tRump is coming out, and the money men ate unhappy seems inevitable.
