X Alternative and Honest Conversations

Hey guys! I’m a long-time Twitter (X) user, and while I’m all for freedom of speech and have never had an issue hearing what people have to say, even if it’s incorrect or just outright dumb, I am not okay with how they are currently handling the CSAM issue. I draw a had line on this one. But, it’s got me thinking and I wanted to ask y'all for your input.

My Questions:

1. If they were to remove Grok/xAI from the X app, would you feel differently about using the platform? Because the issue falls under xAI and not X specifically - right?

2. What is the best alternative? I’ve set up accounts on Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky. Are there others you recommend? What is your "go-to" and why?

I would love to hear y’all’s input on this, especially regarding my first question.
