COMMUNICATION: Alternative Social Networking Sites

Besides Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, what else is there?






RAFTR

Working like facebook, Raftr does collect some data to build your profile. However, it doesn’t share any personally identifiable information with third parties. Overall, it’s a great option to follow your interests and what’s relevant happening around the world.







ELLO

Ello is again gaining some attraction. Primarily focused on artists and creative people, Ello is also ad-free. It also refrains itself from selling the information about the users to third parties. By being a niche website, Ello continues to attract users and establishing as a creators network.







OGGL

Oggl is a place to discover amazing images, create your own, and collect photos that inspire you. AN AMAZING CAMERA. Take amazingly beautiful photos with one of our Hipstamatic camera presets, or discover your own look by mixing and matching lenses and films. Oggl’s interface isn’t as simplistic as Instagram’s, but when you learn it, you’ll understand how it is still very straightforward while maintaining a level of complexity.







MASTODON

Mastodon approximates the microblogging user experience of Twitter, where users post short-form status messages for others to see. On Mastodon, these messages can include up to 500 text-based characters, an extension of Twitter's 280-character limit (originally 140), and posts are called "toots" instead of "tweets", as is the case on Twitter.

Like Twitter, Mastodon supports direct, private messages between users, but unlike "tweets" posted on Twitter, Mastodon’s "toots" can be either private to the user, private to the user's followers, public on a specific instance, or public across a network of instances.
