To say that Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter has caused a stir would be a massive understatement. The billionaire has made multiple changes to the way the platform works since taking over. Of course, as is usually the case, change is not accepted by all and as such, many users are looking for greener pastures. If you are one of these users, then you’ve come to the right place. In this list, we will be looking at five best Twitter alternatives in India.
Koo
Koo is a homegrown app developed in India for Indians. So it had to be a part of this list. Like Twitter, the app allows users to post little snippets of their thoughts and opinions on the internet. Users can also post photos and videos. Just like Twitter!
Pros
- Very similar to Twitter
- Many Indian celebrities are already there
- Multiple regional languages
Cons
- Limited international reach
Mastodon
Mastodon seems to be the go-to destination for most Twitter users leaving the platform. The app’s biggest appeal seems to be the fact that it is decentralised and has no advertisements. Aside from that, it offers a very similar experience to Twitter.
Pros
- Similar UI to Twitter
- Decentralised
- No advertisements
Cons
- Verification seems iffy
Tribel Social
Tribel is another social media platform that users are flocking to. The app features a clean interface and a UI that every Twitter user will be familiar with. It also offers a customisable news feed that users can tweak to ensure they see what they want.
Pros
- Customisable news fee
- Similar to Twitter
Cons
- Buggy, especially on Android
CounterSocial
CounterSocial, or CoSo, is a platform that has a lot of unique features on offer. This includes file transfer, Emergency Radio Traffic, CoSo TV, Enhanced Privacy Mode, as well as a VR component called CoSo Realms. That’s right, it has its own little ‘metaverse’ too!
Pros
- Enhanced privacy features
- Feature-rich
- Already in the ‘metaverse’
Cons
- The desktop UI can be complicated
Tumblr
Tumblr has been around for quite a while now. If you like old-school internet, then this is the place for you. There are loads of fandoms you can join as well as bucket loads of memes, many of which got their start from Tumblr.
Pros
- Old School Internet
- Established platform
Cons
- Old School Internet
Honourable mention: BlueSky
BlueSky is an upcoming social networking platform from Jack Dorsey, the Co-Founder of Twitter. The platform is not live yet, but users are invited to sign up and be in line to try out the beta before the platform goes live.
