Plurk was founded in May 2008 and since then the service has been doing fairly well even though there’s a tough competition from sites like Twitter, tumblr etc. The functionality of Plurk is similar to Twitter but with certain modifications.

  • Plurk allows text posts up to 210 characters (70 characters more than what Twitter allows).

Keek is totally different from all other services mentioned in the post. Keek is basically ‘Twitter for videos’. It allows sharing of videos which are less than 36 seconds in duration. Users can create short duration videos right from their smartphone and publish it on Keek.

Keek also provides private messaging feature via text or video.

Keek has grown tremendously since its inception. According to the stats mentioned on Wikipedia, Keek has now reached 58 million users and 250,000 new users sign up daily. This app is worth giving a try.

    If you want an app with no restriction of posting death threats, use parler like Trump supporters use since Twitter banned Trump’s account.

  • George E. Danz says:

    So I gather from all this GAB that there are no TRULY FREE speech Twitter alternatives out there that are reliable. I haven’t for example been able to fine a link on Parler which allows me to complete a SIGN-UP.

  • Valerielouise says:

    If they were Zionist they would not be allowing islamist tweets against Israel. Check your definitions before throwing out racialist remarks.

  • SemiPorko says:

    beehom is probably staffed by majority left wing ideologues.

    • Clair says:

      They are probably staffed by commies who “Think” they are majority. Only in their minds.

  • nibba says:

    Where’s Mastodon?

  • Alt Right Bones says:

    ….and Gab wasn’t mentioned why?

    • Jack says:

      Thanks for recommending GAB. Fabulous website.

    • Jason says:

      Thank you! I couldn’t remember what it was called. I’m looking for it now for iPhone

  • Hugh Janus says:

    Tumblr is more cancerous than Twitter, and that is saying a LOT.

    • Fed up says:

      Twitter has been taken over by the Zionist mobsters that are excellent at getting mass accounts closed using the feablist of reasons. At the rate its going it will be done for and the only tweeters will be zionists peddling crap to themselves.

      • Hominy corn says:

        ‘Zionist mobsters?’ Dude, twitter is absolutely full of genuine Nazis, who make the place unusable with their stupid conspiracy nonsense and desire to literally kill people. ‘Zionists’. No one talks about Zionism on twitter. What you mean is ‘Jews’. You just don’t have the balls to say it.

      • jimmy says:

        In Fascist circles that IS “fascism”!

      • Seana Fenner says:

        I have the guts to say “Jew”. Want to tell me your real name and addresss?

      • Seana Fenner says:

        Yes, Zionist totalitarians run Twitter and just about all other social media. They tore off my account for our religious organization because it is Odinist, and also GoDaddy tore off my websites, for the same reason as did Facebook. We need some actual free speech social media that is not run by Jewish supremacists.

      • Michel Courval says:

        just go to Parler app. Oh wait…
