Twitter Users Fleeing to New Platforms Amidst Changes

The drastic changes of the social media platform Twitter are almost never well received by users. As a result, there are hijackers on the coast who are only too happy to accommodate the departing users on their new platform.
It thundered again for Twitter users last weekend. Twitter owner Elon Musk then tweeted that the platform sets limits on the number of tweets a user can see each day. It’s just one change in the long list of changes that have been made to the platform since Musk has been in charge.
Due to the chaos, more and more users are fleeing. These ex-Twitter users are looking for an alternative as quickly as possible to send their thoughts and ideas out into the world. Due to the increasing demand, new social media apps have a good chance of being created.

Spill: A New Platform for Diverse Communities

For example, two former employees of the social media platform have joined forces with Black creators to set up Spill. The app aims to create a safe place for diverse communities. In addition, it wants to respond more to the visual and allow users to easily combine text with photo, video and GIF.
The app launched as a closed beta for iOS a few weeks ago. Previously, you could only access the app through an invitation from a Spill user. That changed last weekend after the app was overloaded with new profiles.

Threads and Mastodon Also Benefit from Twitter’s Troubles

Meta is another player that thinks it can capitalize on Twitter’s troubles. Threads is expected to launch tomorrow, but the European public will not be able to access the platform then. According to the available information, Threads is in violation of the GDPR because it asks a lot of personal information from its users.
Not only new social media apps, but also Bluesky and Mastodon benefited from the unrest on Twitter last weekend. Bluesky is the new brainchild of Twitter founder Jack Dorsey. According to public data, the platform attracted some 54,000 new users last weekend. A huge number of the 238,000 users that the platform currently has.
Mastodon managed to launch its updated Android app well. That also happened last weekend. The CEO Eugen Rochko was able to report that the weekend was a success, with an increase of 294,000 active users.
The changes made to Twitter have been met with a lot of criticism from users, and many are now looking for alternatives. This has created an opportunity for new social media apps, such as Spill, Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon, to capitalize on the unrest and attract new users. Spill is a safe place for diverse communities, while Threads is in violation of the GDPR due to the amount of personal information it requires. Bluesky and Mastodon have also seen a surge in users, with Bluesky attracting 54,000 new users and Mastodon increasing by 294,000 active users.
It is clear that the changes made to Twitter have had a significant impact on the social media landscape. New social media apps have been able to capitalize on the unrest and attract new users, while existing platforms have seen a surge in users. As the changes to Twitter continue, it will be interesting to see how the social media landscape evolves.
