Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover has been… interesting. It’s like watching a dumpster fire try to reinvent itself as a gourmet marshmallow roast.

The Elon Musk-led Twitter/X meltdown has changed the social media landscape for microblogging. Many are eager to escape the Chernobyl-size disaster. Changing a primary platform can be painful for those who have many followers. Despite this, many are looking for alternatives. Neither Facebook nor Threads has established itself as a credible platform for business-oriented microblogging. Some leading alternatives are:

• Mastodon’s decentralized approach appeals to many, and with good reason.
• Bluesky is the trendy new platform. Catherine (Sanders) Reach discusses the pros and cons at LLRX.com.

Pro Tip: Whichever new platform you use, resist the temptation to make a political statement by deleting your Twitter/X account. If you move to a new platform, keep your old account active to make it easier for your audience to find and follow you elsewhere.
