I work on a libertarian leaning Facebook page with around 90K followers. I've seen the reach dwindle and I want to do something while I can still reach thousands of people. My first goal is to create a infographic that's easily shared. Eventually there could be more than one, for instance pre-red pill and a post red-pill. Also, I think there's a need for curation and guides. A website would be great, showing how to get started on Parler, suggestions on who to follow, and so on. Some of things like this might already exist, I saw an image with social media alternatives but it didn't look good or have much information. So far the best thing I've seen was this printout another user made.

In lieu of finding something better or someone doing it better I'm trying to make some progress. Heck, I'm still trying to figure Parler out myself. Also, I'm not focusing on directing people towards individuals to follow on YouTube, Twitter, etc... yet because I'm trying to get people in life boats first. I don't think we should give up on all existing social media platforms, we just need to have places we can go where we're not actively being suppressed. Here's what I have so far:

Twitter Alternative: Parler

There are valid complaints, but Parler at the moment stands out in terms of a place where you can access unfiltered information.

Facebook Alternative: MeWe

I feel like MeWe is ahead by default. I've been signed up for a while, but never really used it. It feels like I'd need a guide to make much use of it. However, I tried signing up for Gab and had issues there. I've also seen Spreely and Minds as alternatives.

Reddit Alternative: Ruqqus?

This was a suggestion I got here. I'm not sure I'd recommend it to anyone yet though (the trending page indicates it's not very active) but I like how it's set up. I'd love for the .Win network to become a full fledged Reddit alternative but at the moment it seems to be for the post-red pill crowd.

YouTube Alternatve: Rumble?

This is a crowded field and while I see Rumble getting some momentum I'm not sure if I favor any. I've seen people using and recommending Bitchute and I've had a recommendation for Brighteon.

Aggregator: Citizen Free Press?

We're getting beyond social media now. I've seen a lot of push for Revolver.news but I personally prefer Citizen Free Press as a Drudge replacement. I've also seen suggestions for The Liberty Daily and WhatFinger.

Television News: Newsmax

I like the accessibility of Newsmax. They are easier to get than OAN and Fox News (who sold us out) and I like the idea of promoting them on Pluto. Once people get to Pluto they can see OAN Encore and Bannon's War Room just a few channels away. I think we have a lot of reasons to direct people there.

Print Media: Epoch Times

Given the television and aggregator options, I'm not sure how important traditional news outlets really are. I do really like the Epoch Times and I've seen that recommended. Seems like a good post-red pill option.

Crowd Funding: GiveSendGo?

As the other crowd funding sites have taken down various fundraising projects that would be seen as right of center, this Christian fundraising site has become a safe haven for Kyle Rittenhouse and the Voter Integrity Project to raise money. I'm not sure of any other viable crowd funding sites, but I'm also not sure how to recommend something that advertises itself as being this specific.

Other things I haven't really considered or dug into yet would be messaging apps, search engines, browsers, etc... I welcome any and all help and suggestions!

News aggregator: Bongino Report. Unappologetically pro Trump. Nice level of snark while reporting lefty bs. Tantum Report. Haven't been there myself yet. Brandon Tantum is a ThemToober who is solidly MAGA.

Bongino is really doing a great job of being involved in all these alternatives. He's all over Rumble, Parler and his own aggregator, heh. I haven't checked out the Tatum Report but I'll do that now.

You forgot gab. That is the beat alternative to twitter. They own their own servers and are adding gabtv(youtube alt) and gab market place(Facebook market alt)

I tried signing up and they wouldn't verify my email. I have to try again, heh.

When did you try? I signed up 4 Years ago when it was still in beta. Took a couple weeks to verify back then. Could depend on email. I know yahoo at one point blocked emails from gab.

I went back and got it to work. I did list it as a Facebook alternative but as someone that seems to use it a lot what do you see it more as? Or it is just kind of going for jack of all trades?

It seems more like a twitter with unlimted characters per gab. But it diffenatly is turning into a jack of all trades with all the new features they are working on.
