The istration of Elon Musk As CEO of the social network do arinho Azul, he has been talking about and many people have stopped using the site, which has more than 229 million active s. 2s1v6s
A Meta, keeping an eye on this billionaire failure, launched the Threads, in early July 2023, one of the alternatives to Twitter that has the most potential to work. But it doesn't stop there: thinking about putting together all the options for you who want to stop using the Twitter, we've rounded up nine free options. Check each one of them out right now!
Bluesky 205ao
Founded in 2021, the Bluesky is gradually gaining notoriety and, if it weren't for Meta, was at the top of the list of substitutes for the Twitter. The funniest thing is that the social network belongs to Jack Dorsey, former CEO and founder of the social network of the blue bird. O Bluesky can also be considered exclusive: to access it, it is necessary to fill out a form and wait for your registration to be approved. Data from July 2023 show that there are 180 thousand active s and the waiting list has more than 1,9 million people.
Who has access to this alternative to Twitter can make posts of up to 300 characters, in addition to having access to the AT protocol (Authenticated Transfer Protocol) as a base to work, created just for the Bluesky. This allows portability between s, choice of algorithms and interoperability between different social networks.
Registration is very simple: just enter an e-mail in the invitation request page and wait for the return. No further information will be requested at this time. In addition to a web version, the social network also has applications for Android e iOS. How about testing?
Clubhouse 47555p
Success during the pandemic, the Clubhouse became famous for being an application with audio rooms on the most diverse subjects. A while later, the Twitter inaugurated the functionality Spaces and everyone ended up returning to the social network of the little blue bird. The improvement of the pandemic, with more people leaving home, also contributed to the Clubhouse was less and less used.
Despite this, the social network remains active and with applications for iOS e Android. In April 2023, the founders announced that more than half of the employees would be laid off in order for the idea to be “restarted from scratch”.
It is still possible to create audio rooms with those who are far away and have a conversation on the most diverse subjects. But the question remains whether this substitute for Twitter, which has long been outdated, will last for a long time.
cohost 6l5q
Developed by a small team of developers, this is one of the substitutes that will take some time to actually become a successful idea. It delivers the basics: feed in vertical format and with chronological posts, in addition to the use of hashtags.
Best of all, at least for now, there are no ads promoted based on what you post, like and share content. And there is also no algorithm to track what is sent to the cohost. For now, there are only a web version.
Still in tests, registration is free and just fill in the form, that a return confirming your registration will be sent. The “delay” happens because this approval is done manually to avoid bots on the social network.
It's free to use, but you can pay a monthly fee of $5 to the development of new features. Among the future novelties, there is the insertion of a section with the most commented subjects, tipping service and delivery of a personalized experience.
Social Counter 732165
Aimed at those who like to stay on top of updates on the most diverse subjects, the Social Counter arrives to fill this need. The information page mentions that there is a proper curation to avoid the sharing of fake news and this is so strict that entire nations have already been completely banned. Are they: Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan and Syria.
There are several forms of navigation and most of them even resemble the Twitter. In addition to the traditional feed, the Social Counter has a virtual reality version that can be accessed via VR glasses to generate high immersion. There is a great content verification policy that is available to s: no abuse, no trolling, no ads and no fake news.
In addition to a web version, the Social Counter have apps for Android e iOS.
Mastodon 591v5q
A Mastodon became successful after Elon Musk showed interest in turning Twitter into an open source site, something that Mastodon already is. But it is more than that: all the management work is done by the s themselves and there is no digital advertising, with income originating from companies that invest in cryptocurrencies, NFTs and VPNs.
Despite the look that recalls the first versions of Twitter, Mastodon organizes posts by communities on the most diverse subjects and there are more than 4,4 million active s worldwide. The content in Portuguese is still quite scarce and the network is far from being what the Twitter it is nowadays, but the alternative exists.
Registration is free and you can choose to version for website or apps for Android ou iOS.
Post 1o1v5s
Developed with a focus on monetizing journalism, the Post It has an interesting proposal, but it has not really emerged yet. The social network was developed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and technology commentator Scott Galloway, with a focus on providing a source of income for experts in content creation. Registration is free, but you can recharge your wallet within the social network and send “tips” to the profiles you like the most.
O Post also has a proposal that encourages journalists from the most diverse segments to post exclusive content. Points earned can be transferred to a PayPal, but the big problem with that is the willingness of many people to pay for the information. But it remains on the list of alternatives to Twitter available on the internet.
There is a web version and an app for iOS.
Game 4g2x3z
Founded by Alphonzo “Phonz” Terrell and DeVaris Brown, former Twitter employees fired in 2021, the focus of Game is to give a voice to content creators who are part of minority groups. Including, phonz he even wrote a tweet citing that the platform wanted to give greater space to “black creators, queer creators and a variety of influential voices outside the US”.
The social network is far from being a site that threatens the reign of Twitter, but it has the potential to be a secondary idea that deserves your attention. At the time of launch, in December 2022, it already had 20 s on its waiting list.
While Spill is for everyone, we're catering to culture drivers who often set new trends but are routinely overlooked and undercompensated. Yes, we mean black creators, queer creators, and a variety of influential voices outside of the US.

It is possible to access the social network spill via version web or app for and iOS.
T2 70r3o
This is another social network that is very reminiscent of Twitter in several ways: in addition to the interface, it was also developed to be a “space to have the authentic conversations we always wanted”. A T2 was created by Gabor Cselle, Sarah Oh and Michael Greer, former employees of Twitter who didn't want to leave the social networking business even after losing their jobs.
The option was launched in November 2022, but it still depends on developer approval for you to post. It is necessary to send a registration and wait for your registration to be validated. It is possible to write content with up to 280 characters and until the closing of this article, it had more than 20 thousand active s. The social network has only one web version.
Threads, 2x5w4m
O Threads, was launched in July 2023 and in less than 24 hours, it had more than 10 million ed s. A Meta did its homework in a very assertive way: in addition to the interface similar to Twitter, the application is integrated with Instagram. There are still improvements to be made, but this is one of the top alternatives to the bluebird social network right now.
For now, the success of Threads, can be considered momentary, so it remains to be seen whether all expectations will be met for people to use the application in their daily lives, in the same way they would with the Twitter. Until the closing of this article, the social network could only be accessed via an application for Android e iOS.
