Gab (a Twitter like site) I created an account one time but then deleted it cause I barely used it (and I got tired of the owner's overly Christian-political posts/emails being sent like almost every day).

Do y'all use any of the Facebook/Twitter/YouTube alternatives?

I used to use Minds years ago, but it was kinda boring tbh. Not sure if anything changes since 2017.

i made a mastodon account but ive never really used it, although i do plan to eventually. there are two youtube alternatives called vidlii and bitview that are meant to look like late 2000s youtube, i dont really use them but i look through them occasionally, i plan to upload stuff on at least one of them eventually but i dont really have anything to upload at the moment

I created an Odysee account, but I've only had time to upload one video on there so far. Not sure if it'll take off like YouTube did. I just hope the site owners don't go the "big brother" route that YouTube seems to do regarding content.

I've played around a bit on both VidLii and BitView and while both successfully manage to recreate the old look and feel of classic YouTube, I chose to sign up with BitView because they have groups. It's just a bit strange that the profile pic I uploaded there doesn't seem to appear at all though. I did upload some old random videos that I've also uploaded to YouTube (from around 2006-2008), here's my profile: https://www.bitview.net/profile.php?user=DidrickNam

No, not really and I honestly don't plan to.
All of those are super politically charged plus everything that's from back in the day that matters is on the mainstream sites. ( save for a few deleted things )

Btw is anyone here on FineFriends? It's a completely free social media alternative, no ads and you can also choose not to have your profile come up in search results on search engines. Info also is never sold to a third party (*cough*Facebook*cough*), so just like Spacehey, what happens on FineFriends stays on FineFriends (okay that one sounded lame lol, but still true). Here's my page on there: https://finefriends.social/u/Didrick

For YouTube, there's a website called Vidlii. It's literally an exact replica of YouTube from 2008-2014. It usually gets a lot of traffic when YouTube gets down. And video upload times are long for some reason, it wasn't like that before.

Not really cause most of these sites are filled with people who were banned from mainstream social media (nazis, racists, pedos,etc).

There’s Fanbase: An Instagram/Patreon/Clubhouse mash up. You earn revenue through loves and creating subscriptions for exclusive content (A lot of TikTokers are moving there, especially marginalized groups because of TikToks apparent biases.)

Meh, I only use youtube and facebook I only have it to link my video game accounts and so on. The truth is that a few weeks ago I created a SpaceHey account and I admit that I was hooked.

I don't think anyone mentioned this but mastodon is a cool open source twitter alternative, minds is good but could be a little better. recently it has been more active. Pixelfed is a good one for a instagram alternative. Been using rumble, odysee those can be better than youtube. Another one is hive blockchain platform. It has every single alternative in one and talks to one another

I have used Odyssey a bit but not much. I have used Bitview a bit and SubRocks. SubRocks is a 2012 clone and Bitview is a 2008 clone.

- Invidious a frontend for youtube github.com/iv-org/invidious
- searx a meta search engine that queries other github.com/searx/searx
- nitter a frontend for twitter zedeus/nitter
- teddit a frontend for reddit codeberg.org/teddit/teddit
- then obviously this site which is sadly not open source as far as I know
just provide the content of e.g youtube in a private way.
Hope this is somewhat useful :)

My issue is most of my social media is for interacting with friends, and convincing some of them to switch to another platform just means I'll be using yet another platform, as well as all the ones I'm currently using. With the exception of this site, and some unnameable image boards I don't really interact with random people on the internet much.

Gab is wayyyy too political for my taste. Like... it makes twitter seem like a safe space in comparison lol. From the little time i used it, Minds seemed alright. At least it wasnt super political but maybe thats because i only followed a couple ppl, never used any of the other ones.

We need more revivals. I know a lot of websites to play old roblox since the normal one got too toxic and ugly T.T . Revival websites are better than the original ones HAHA

I use BitView (youtube with 2009 layout) which is a bit active, i also use blips but i woudn't recommend it that much since the "Find people" tab is still on development

I would reccomend KamTape.com.
It's good ol' YouTube from November 2005. It would be nice for you guys to join!
It's hosted by the YoreTude guy. But this time it isn't for 5000000 TB RAM NASA PCs. It's lighter in performance, it has a good old fashioned community with nice videos. It's EXTREMELY rare to see any toxic or strange user in there. I would rate it KamTape (10000000000000000000000000000000000000000)/10

i love using flickr!! it's a photo sharing service which is built more for photographers, but is open to every type of photography! i use it to post nostalgic looking pictures i take, but also more photogenic ones aswell. it's suuper cool, and a product of its release date (2004, almost 20 years of flickr!)

i use bitview as a youtube alternative, it’s a clone of old youtube, very customizable and has decent moderation

The only site that I've heard of and utilize to some degree is Rumble. As I am a nudist, YouTube deleted my Brisbane Naturists channel at the start of the year without warning because some Karen complained about the content on it (even though it was not pornographic and did not breach YouTube's rules).
So I moved the channel to Rumble. Something needs to be done to take Meta, YouTube and X down a few pegs in order to make them great again. They need to stop picking on social minorities like nudists.
