It’s a good thing Impartial Twitter, which effects no editorial function whatsoever, is on the case to ensure that problematic Trump tweets are accompanied by a caveat or disclaimer.
Trump asserts that the election involved fraud
Twitter: “This claim about election fraud is disputed”
Trump challenges the integrity of the electoral process
Twitter: “Learn about US 2020 election security efforts”
and: “Learn how voting by mail is safe and secure”
Trump asserts that he won the Presidency
Twitter: “Official sources may not have called the race when this was Tweeted”
And that’s when the entire tweet isn’t quarantined behind a statement like
“Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process.”
Thank goodness for ol’ Jackie. Don’t know if I could tell my earholes from my nostrils if he and his battalions of “fact checkers” (no editorial function, we promise!) weren’t here to guide my idiot hands.

I do not use Twitter or Facebook, so my focus for alternatives to leftist big tech sites is on video and mail. My wish is that all of the channels that I watch on YouTube have copies of their videos on Bitchute. So far, only political channels that I like seem to do that.
Here’s a list I found of alternative sites:
Facebook >> Minds, Mewe, pocketnet.app
Twitter >> Gab, Parler
Youtube >> Bitchute, invidio.us, brighteon
Google Search >> Duckduckgo or startpage or searx.me
Google Mail >> Proton mail or Tutanota mail
Patreon >> subscribestar
Instagram >> Pixelfed
Meetup >> @GetTogether
Skype >> Wire or Jami/GNU Ring
Firefox >> Waterfox browser
Chrome >> Iridium browser, torproject.org
Brave >> Gab Dissenter Browser
MS Office >> Libreoffice suite, Apache OpenOffice
Windows >> Linux
Android >> LinageOS & F Droid Store
Google Maps >> OpenStreetMap
I use Brave. What are the issues with it? I’m not aware of any but I’ll switch if there are problems.
Also, you can add Rumble to the YouTube alternatives.
I am not aware of issues with Brave. I use it myself as well as Firefox Nightly. I got the list from someone else who was concerned with privacy and they did not elaborate. I have seen lists like this before and Brave was one of the ones recommended.
Add DuckDuckGo to you list. I use it for my browser.
