It’s a platform that revolves around voice posts. Users can create 90-second voice memos to post publicly or share with friends. In the early days of the app, creating and receiving voice posts required short-code text numbers. Today, most of the network’s features are accessible on the iOS and Android app. You can use the app to apply filters, attach photos, and more. #98 – ClubhouseClubhouse is an exclusive social media network that centers around live audio discussions. It’s currently only available to iOS users. Furthermore, the only way to create an account is to receive an invitation from an existing user. The app features massive chatroom-style rooms that can hold up to 5,000 people. There, users can openly discuss a wide range of topics. Recording, transcribing, or sharing live audio conversations is strictly prohibited. The privacy feature is meant to promote open discussions without the fear of retribution. While many social media juggernauts aim to create rivals to Clubhouse, it continues to be one of the more popular audio-based networks on the web. #99 – MeWeTouted as the “Next-Gen Social Network,” MeWe is all about privacy. While the user interface is similar to that of its more famous counterparts, MeWe describes itself as the “Anti-Facebook.” The service doesn’t contain any ads, tracking software, or spyware. The privacy-focused business model prevents user data from being shared or sold. Not only that, but MeWe hands the reigns to the user. Members have complete control over their newsfeed, communications, and safety. MeWe also has a light-handed approach to content moderation. The service provider doesn’t manipulate what users see, making it a favorite among those who fear corporate censorship. #100 – GabGab officially opened to the public in 2017. It’s a microblogging platform that allows users to post their thoughts, share images, and more. Gab prioritizes the free flow of information online and actively promotes its dedication to free speech and individual liberty. In addition to the main site, Gab has a few additional services. Gab maintains an email service, text messaging system, and a web browser. A browser extension is available as well. Not only does it provide quick access to the network, but it also allows for commenting on third-party sites. #101 – RumbleRumble is a video-sharing network similar to YouTube and Vimeo. It launched in 2013 and saw modest success in the subsequent years. However, Rumble’s popularity grew massively in 2020. At the start of 2021, it had an estimated 32 million active users a month. The network features long and short-form video content from a wide range of creators. From family home videos to official content from more extensive news networks, Rumble has it all! Users can also upload their own videos and earn revenue based on the views. The user interface is well-designed, featuring multiple tabs and recommended feeds to find similar content. While Rumble does not permit some types of content, its moderation system is very lax compared to the likes of YouTube. I hope that the above list of social networking portals, which are suitable for different categories like gaming, making friends, dating, photo sharing and blogging, proves valuable to you.
