An X challenger didn't hide its ambitions to take on the social network formerly known as Twitter when it dubbed itself T2 at launch, but now that name --

Who???

    Why? Since Twitter went all binfire the big new rivals have all been established already.

    • Mastodon (if you like putting a CW on everything you post and have the inclination to dive into the deep end of federation),
    • Threads (if you want to move from one billionaire sociopath to another and only care for ‘content creators’), and
    • BlueSky (if you can get an invite and want to see Twitter with less Nazis and more sex workers).

    I don’t think the world needs a 4th choice. And certainly not another centralised, ‘so generically named you can’t Google it’ clone.

      It sounds like Twitter with more Nazis (and other adjacent groups) from what I’ve heard to be totally honest

        Nah, it’s a lot more liberal than Twitter. So many right-wing grifters have tried to establish themselves on Bluesky and they just get hounded off by everyone.

        There’s also several big community Mute / Block lists that get kept up to date for known nazi / bigot / grifters, so when anyone infamous joins up they get added to those lists and everyone who subscribed to the lists will just automatically mute those accounts.

        Community moderation is something that sets it apart from Twitter.
