Alt-tech

Imagine that you're playing with your toys but your parents only gave you certain toys to play with, and you can't explore and use other toys that you really like. This is a lot like how social media works, like Facebook and YouTube, they only let you do certain things and can sometimes control what you can see and hear.

But some people want to have more control over what they can see and hear online, and this is where alt-tech comes in. Alt-tech is short for alternative technology, which means using different websites and apps that work in a different way to social media sites.

Alt-tech sites are run by people who believe in free speech and individual privacy. They let you explore and share ideas without being censored or monitored by big companies. And because they aren't tied to big companies, they can be more creative and experimental with their features and functions.

Some popular alt-tech sites include Gab, Minds, Parler, and BitChute. These sites don't have the same restrictions as social media sites, so you can share and discuss controversial ideas and topics that might not be allowed on other platforms.

In a way, alt-tech is like having a secret club where you can go and talk about things that you might not be able to talk about in public. But it's important to remember to be respectful and kind to others, even if you don't agree with them, because everyone has a right to their own opinion.
