So the only small social networks I know of are Sublevel, Ello (
ello.co ) and Gab (
gab.ai ). I was on Ello right after launch, it seemed to be inhabited by designers and had no tech community so I soon closed my account having nobody to talk to. I'd say it's worth checking out regardless. Gab is (currently?) full of people who's Twitter accounts were closed in the recent wave of banning pro-Trump accounts so it's a bit politically charged right now (like the whole fucking internet).
