💢️🌐️🗃️💾️ The official source repository for the Hatium Alt-Tech index, an index of Alt-Tech websites
Alt-tech are social media platforms and Internet service providers that have become popular among the alt-right, far-right, and others who espouse extremism or fringe theories, often because they employ less stringent content moderation than mainstream platforms. The term "alt-tech" is a portmanteau of "alt-right" and "Big Tech". In the 2010s, some prominent conservatives and their supporters began to use alt-tech platforms because they had been banned from other social media platforms. Alt-tech platforms describe themselves as protectors of free speech and individual liberty, which researchers and journalists have alleged may be a cover for antisemitism and terrorism.
This project aims to be an index of alt-tech websites for the purpose of blocking, countering, documenting, and avoiding.
The top 10 most notable alt-tech websites. Logos are not yet included. All entries are listed as 2023, October 2nd, as that is when this project was started.
| Logo | Site | URL | Inclusion date | Ranking | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

https://twitter.com | 2023, October 2nd | 01 | Twitter/X was once a website that hosted alt-tech users, but made attempts to crack down on them. After the website was acquired by Elon Musk in 2022, the owner of the site has actively posted hateful/misleading content, and has brought many alt-tech users back. Twitter is currently the most mainstream Alt-tech website. | |
|
X | https://x.com | 2023, October 2nd | 02 | Despite changing the name of Twitter to X, X is not the popular name, and has been demoted to the #2 spot |

This list is not in any particular order, the first 3 entries are bundled together, since they all have the same owner (Facebook/Meta Platforms)
