Twitter users are buzzing over an alternative social network called Hive Social.

Hive Social announced Tuesday that it gained 250,000 new users overnight as criticism and concerns about Twitter’s future have grown since Tesla CEO Elon Musk took over the platform. Musk recently attempted to charge “verified” accounts for blue check marks, fired half of his staff, and reinstated previously banned users like Kanye West, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and former President Donald Trump (who says he’s sticking with Truth Social).
