You've probably never heard of some of these sites.

  1. Twitter

Ah, yes, Twitter, the totally obscure site that no one has ever heard of :P

  1. Saidit

Didn't expect this before Reddit, especially since Twitter is so high on the list :P . To be fair, though, Reddit is in HEAVY decline, IMO. Here, on the other hand, you have fairly ideologically different people able to maturely talk without attacking and banning each other! That is awesome, and something I rarely see anywhere!

I’m usually pretty funny, but on Said It apparently I’m more of the inspiring type.

Not sure if you're OP (are you?) but for many, at least, this may be out of habit, since "Inspiring" is in the same place as the upvote button on Reddit.

This looks quite promising. Thanks to the writer for the suggestion!

The other suggestions are quite good as well.

Reddit in heavy decline? I'm not saying you're wrong, but do you have any sources for that? I haven't heard anything and would be interested in seeing some stats.

The culture's definitely declining...

Yeah, I've heard that before about various things, actually. Does anyone have a source to back up my beliefs?

The definition of promising, define it without looking it up OP.

I'm not a very sophisticated writer. Promising here is loosely defined as 'can help promote your content'.

I wrote this article after I wrote the first one, 12 Promising Social Media Platforms Fit for Creatives, where 'promising' means 'fit for creatives'.

Both good articles. There's also communities for writers, screenwriters, and animators, etc. Though most animation communities are for amateurs.

Also, I like it when they list the pros and cons. Knowing what to avoid is half the battle and getting sold something only to be disappointed with a waste of time/energy is a bummer. Fair warnings is always good.

I've been a Deviant for a dozen years.

SaidIt for a month.

Spreely sounds interesting. Anyone been there?

FUCK QUORA VIOLENTLY IN EVERY ORAFICE! They rig and censor the shit out of everything with no recourse or documentation. I've been banned for life for no explainable reason. In 2016 I was their #1 expert on the New World Order and in the top few on 9/11 (as if their metrics or "top" categories mean anything to me) - and yet they DELETED my account without warning or recourse, and won't let me at least archive off and save the countless weeks of work that went into it, much less all the other folks comments, etc that interacted with my comments and questions. Not all of my stuff was as focused on Trutherism as it is now. I had a lot on animation, orbital mechanics, architecture, anarchism, bipolar disorder, movies, music, etc. FUCK QUORA and stay clear.

How could they list Twitter and not Gab? Maybe SaitIt can start another third way, called "Twib"? "Hey, didja read my tweeb?"

Sorry you had a terrible experience with the Quora bunch.

Your post sparked an idea: SaltIt - Everything with a grain of salt.

And a dab of ketchup.

Not the Quora bunch of well meaning folks. Just the admins who won't respond or fix it.
