"Mastodon Social is THE Twitter Alternative for...

With the 'alt-right' movement fleeing platforms they find offensive, a few networks have seen slight bursts of success. Gab.ai and Minds.com have become insulated safe spaces for the sensitive members of this group. That being said, there's still a lot of harassment being seen on the Twitter front and that makes it unusable for many people who simply wish to interact inside of an all inclusive bubble with no one challenging their beliefs.

The solution may be a little known Twitter alternative which has been around for several years. It's not technically a website, but more of a service. GNUsocial is a network of servers that talk to each other in what's known as a federation. The idea is that anyone can start a server and set their own rules, but if a user is brave enough, they can peer into the abyss known as the 'Public Timeline' and 'natively' interact with people on other networks. If a server (also known as instance) admin or user was unhappy with these interactions, he or she could ban users from appearing on his or her timeline.This doesn't ban the user from the GNUsocial protocol, but only from their particular instance. This solves many of the problems that Twitter has and acts as a form of self-censorship. This has been good enough for a few of these networks, such as Sealion.Club, Quitter.se and Shitposter.club. But only one man had the vision and ego to truly break what was working. His name is Eugen."
