Twitter ain't what it used to be. Since Elon Musk took over, the microblogging site has made some controversial changes, from charging verified users $8 per month for Twitter Blue to surprising users with daily limits for reading Twitter posts.
It's a trainwreck that's got some people wondering whether to jump ship and leave Twitter for another social media site. Several possible contenders for the best Twitter alternatives have cropped up since Musk's takeover, and now one from the likes of former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey himself is gaining traction. It's called Bluesky Social, an open-source, decentralized social network that feels like a cross between Twitter and Mastodon.
