Since billionaire Elon Musk took over Twitter, the social media platform has experienced some bizarre series of events, leading to waning user trust. From the blue tick fiasco to the reintroduction of controversial figures like Donald Trump, the blue bird app has fallen into absolute chaos. While the microblogging site is gaining stability, many users have already started looking for apps like Twitter. If you are also one of those who have decided to abandon the sinking ship that is Twitter, we have compiled a list of the 12 best Twitter alternatives that you can use in 2024. Let's check out some Twitter-like apps with similar features without further.

Threads, the recently released app by Instagram, is our best Twitter alternative. Marketed as a texting app, Threads is the latest Twitter clone to hit the market. However, it does have one advantage over other Twitter alternatives – it's owned by Meta, a social media mogul. With a fairly minimalistic interface, Threads lets you post text updates with a limit of up to 500 characters, and you can also post photos and videos up to 5 minutes long.

The new social media app from Meta is tied to Instagram. Threads retrieves usernames and other user information from Instagram. Like Twitter, Threads also has a feed that contains posts from those you follow as well as recommendations. You can choose to keep your profile public or private and even choose restrictions on who can reply to your threads.

Meta has plans to make threads more user-friendly and will also allow users on threads to interact with other decentralized social media networks including Mastodon, which is another Twitter alternative we've discussed further in this list. Threads has no invite system and you start social interaction on the app immediately if you have an Instagram account.
