The world of social media is constantly changing and evolving. Every year, new platforms emerge that seek to capture the attention and interest of users, offering new ways to communicate, share and entertain themselves. In 2024, it will be no different. We present to you some of the new social networks that promise to revolutionize the digital landscape this year.
Threads: the social network for fashion lovers
Threads is a social network that focuses on the world of fashion and style. Its goal is to create a community of people who share their passion for clothing, accessories and trends. Users can create their own profiles, upload photos of their outfits, follow their favorite brands and designers, and discover new inspirations. In addition, Threads allows you to buy directly from the application, accessing the best offers and discounts from the most popular online stores. Threads launched in 2023 and already has more than 10 million monthly active users, especially in the United States, United Kingdom, and France.
Mastodon: the decentralized and censorship-free social network
Mastodon is a social network that is based on blockchain technology to offer a decentralized, censorship-free and privacy-friendly experience. Users can create and join different communities, called instances, which function as independent servers. Each instance has its own rules, themes and moderators. Users can post messages of up to 500 characters, called toots, which can include images, videos, links and emojis. They can also interact with other users, following them, commenting or liking their toots. Mastodon was created in 2016 and has been gaining popularity in recent years, especially among users looking for an alternative to traditional social networks, which are usually controlled by large corporations and governments. Currently, Mastodon has more than 5 million registered users and more than 3 thousand active instances.
Bluesky: the social network powered by Twitter
Bluesky is a social network that is being developed by Twitter, with the support of other companies and organizations. Its purpose is to create an open and standard protocol for social networks, allowing interoperability, innovation and diversity. Users will be able to choose between different applications and services to access the social network, without depending on a single platform or company. They will also be able to control their own data, decide what content to see and how to moderate it, and participate in the governance of the network. Bluesky was announced in 2019 and is expected to be available to the public in 2024.
Social networks are an essential part of our digital life, and that is why it is important to stay up to date with the news and trends that arise in this area. In 2024, we will see how new social networks, such as Threads, Mastodon and Bluesky, will try to conquer users with their innovative and differentiating proposals. Do you dare to try them.
