Mastodon

Mastodon is a network of thousands of social communities run by various organizations and individuals with more than 4.4 million members.

As with Twitter, Mastodon also has a limit on the number of characters per post, and texts of up to 500 characters can be shared.

Yesterday (Tuesday) the company reported a slowdown in servers due to a load of new users.



In addition, you can upload photos, videos, and various emojis.

You have the option to hide spoilers from your friends about the series you like, and define who will watch your posts.

The feed is chronological, so you can see the posts in their order of publication.

The big deal - no commercials at all!

Discord

Discord is a voice, video and text based communication service in which more than one hundred million people from all over the world are members.

In fact, the uniqueness of Discord is that the communication between the members of the network is conducted through an online video game.



In the beginning, in 2015, Discord was mainly used by gamers, but over time more and more members with diverse interests joined the service.

By registering for the platform, you can open your own server and invite your friends, or join another user's server.

Spacehey

If you miss the good old days of MySpace, then Spacehey is totally for you.

SpaceHey, which has more than half a million members, is a retro-style social network that brings back all the nostalgic things of the ancient social networks: blogs, forums and instant messaging.



SpaceHey allows you to add custom HTML and CSS code to your profile so you can design it to your personal taste.

Unlike other social networks, Spacehey has no algorithms and no custom advertisements - the updates in SpaceHey are chronological and there are no suggestions for sponsored content.

You decide what to share and what content you want to see.

Forums

And if we have already mentioned retro, then it is always possible to return to forums.

In the past forums were the main stage for online discussions, but since Twitter and Facebook, they have pretty much gone out of fashion.

While forums are not as fast as ticking or visuals like Instagram, their advantage is that they allow you to feel like you are talking to humans instead of firing into a short, casual tweet space.



A site like Reddit for example that allows users to create their own special sub-forums, can be an alternative for people who miss the internet of yesteryear.
