There used to be reddit. In a way also YouTube. Fediverse is growing strong. There are messengers like Discord and Telegram - with search function for groups.
How’s any of this could replace Twitter? On Twitter, you can follow an MIT economics professor, a scientist from NASA, a military analyst, a sport journalist, etc. You can read every day what they think, what articles they share, ask questions and get answers. These people on Reddit, YouTube, Fediverse, Discrod or Telegram. There’s nothing like that on these platforms at that scale.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
