2.) '''[https://www.hivesocial.app/ Hive Social]''' - Next to Tribel Social, Hive is definitely a big contender as a new platform, but unfortunately, the team behind it consists of two people (?) and [https://twitter.com/rahaeli/status/1594756281650524160 there has been issues raised on its TOS] [https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/01/twitter-alternative-hive-shuts-down-its-app-to-fix-critical-security-issues/ and reports of security issues, forcing them to shut down until they get sorted out]. I think some of the staff (THS and KSM?) said they're also on Hive. Currently only have an app, with talks of them developing a website in the future. They're active on Twitter, which they're using to promote themselves. | 2.)

3.) '''[https:// | 3.) '''[https://spoutible.com/ Spoutible]''' - Upcoming social media platform created by [https://twitter.com/cbouzy CEO Christopher Bouzy of Bot Sentinel]. Very established and well-known among the progressives and tech industry, it seems. Currently operating with transparency and with large engagement with followers. Been keeping an eye on his progress on developing his platform, and has the experience to properly create/host a social media platform with proper security clearance and making sure they follow standard TOS. Expect to launch officially by late Jan. of next year. | ||
4.) '''[https://post.news/ Post]''' - New platform currently in beta, where a lot of journalists are flocking to. Don't know much about outside from that since users who join are either accepted as beta users or stuck on a waitlist. So far, the only bad thing I heard about it people saying it's "elitist"? Don't think this would be a good alternative for us to go to, but I'm putting it out there on the basis of, again, I don't know anything the platform and keeping an open mind. | 4.)

{{Chainoffire|time={{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 05:34, 5 December 2022 (UTC)|normal=Personlly, I think keeping the Twitter wouldn't be the worst idea. Also, Tumblr seems like the safest move. I could see alot of these "new" apps dying after a short period of time. Do we get better SEO spreading ourselves out like that even if the site dies? It'd be nice to put f*ndom at the bottom of the google results...}} | {{Chainoffire|time={{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 05:34, 5 December 2022 (UTC)|normal=Personlly, I think keeping the Twitter wouldn't be the worst idea.

{{NinjaSheik|text=I think whether we stick with Twitter depends on the megalomaniac narcissist that's currently running it. If he does implement a lot of the features that's been reported so far, I don't see why anyone would want to stick around a site that's being monetized, which was once previously free for anyone to use. I don't think places like Tribel or Hive will last long if they can't assure their users' online safety or if they run out of funds to have maintain it, especially if it's true that a platform like Hive is currently run by two people. New platforms rise and fall the time, true, but even something like Twitter would never be #1 forever until the next big thing arrives on the internet. | |||
I do agree that Tumblr is the safest bet, and I still stick what I said that Spoutible could be somewhere we we can go to. However, I also agree that we shouldn't stretch ourselves too thin. We're not a company with personnel to spare juggling between numerous social media sites, and even companies have trouble with balancing all of that. I'd say that we pick two sites and just stick with that for the time being if we would to have accounts for the KHWiki. KSM and THS said they've went on Hive and tested it out so far, so it's good to know if anyone among the staff is testing new platforms out for their personal usage for the time being. We're not abandoning ship immediately, but checking out other places couldn't hurt. | |||
To echo what Spindash54 said on Discord, reserving the KHWiki handle name is a good idea. I did sign on for the pre-beta registration for Spoutible out of curiosity, but since I don't have an actual Twitter account, all I did was registered under my personal email. On the behalf of the KHWiki, I'm fine with putting KHWiki under my personal email for now until we see what happens with Twitter. Is anyone has objections to that, and want to register under the KHWiki's social media email instead, let me know (I don't know what our email is, sooo... XD). If things with Spoutible goes well, it could benefit us with SEO rankings in the long-run. We're constantly in competition with the FANDOM's Keyhole Wiki on Twitter, too, aren't we? But if we were the first one to promote on a new social platform that's aiming for 100, 000 users from the get-go, where there's currently ZERO competition and a wide open space for KH fans and other gamers itching to gather, then... Tee-hee-hee... 😈😈😈 | |||
So, yeah, if everyone is okay with this idea, I can put the Spoutible account under my personal email while I scout out the site, if we don't want to outright register under the KHWiki's social media email. Since KSM and THS is already on Hive, might as well check out another platform for a personal test run. I'm planning to just lurk and test the waters quietly, but if any official KH news pop up, I'll post on the KHWiki's behalf if we start to consider migrating elsewhere.}} | |||
