Facebook and Instagram by Zuckerberg? Tik Tok by the Chinese government? Reddit by Spez? Everything is a terrible option.
I don't use Twitter/x or anything but Lemmy, but the social media world is owned by terrible corporations and terrible people.
Mastodon is the federated alternative to twitter.
And, like Lemmy, lacks a large userbase comparable to that of Twitter or Facebook
Sites with small user bases will never grow as long as everyone is waiting for everyone else to migrate before doing so themselves.
Pretty much everything important is mirrored somewhere
But, for several reasons is a much worse experience for people with a large number of followers, especially if they are from a marginalized group.
Everyone should get off X, but I find it hard to recommend any replacement. Threads and Bluesky have problems, but they might work better than Mastodon for some people or organizations.
