The Facebook group Meta is considering a Twitter alternative.
“We are considering an independent, decentralized online network for text updates,” confirmed a meta spokesman on Saturday night with media reports. It is believed that there are opportunities for a place where, among other things, public figures “can share updates about their interests”.
As a decentralized network of smaller networks, a meta offering would be similar to the already existing Twitter alternative Mastodon. Twitter co-founder and longtime boss Jack Dorsey is also working on a similar alternative.
