Partisan Quick Guide To X Alternatives

So, you're finally deciding to leave X. Good for you. Here are your choices and you can pick more than one:

1. Threads - Commercial (Meta). Lots of popular ex-X accounts. Looks like X. No ads yet. Algorithm driven.

2. Bluesky - Commercial (Private). Looks like X, No ads yet. Customizable algorithm.

3. Mastodon - Open System Collective. Totally Awesome. Doesn't look like X. Threads/Bluesky bridges. No Algorithm (That's a good thing!)

I am just thinking out loud: wouldn’t it be possible to create plugins with algorithms for Mastodon?

I mean: Yes, it is beautiful that Mastodon doesn’t have an algorithm, so that you are fully in control. But some people might want to apply an algorithm on top of Mastodon in order to filter/sort the huge amount of posts.

It might also help new users finding people to follow.
