Ask HN: What would be ideal replacement for Twitter?

In the past several months I have been struggling with Twitter and looking for the value there. Even though I've tried to limit the number of followers and optimize the usage of the service, the value of using it has been tremendously declining.

On the other hand I feel very sorry to say goodbye to it, because Twitter was inseparable part of my online life for so many years. I think that the service introduced many good things and helped to change the World, but now, it just feel old, tired and not worthy anymore.

Do you guys have any alternative to it? Some service which is fresh as Twitter used to be 5 years ago? Do you know any emerging new platforms where I can possibly move? If not, what would be the ideal for "next gen" Twitter?

yeah I've heard about it, but there are not yet fully operated. Anyway I'm like on like 110k spot in the queue, so it will take some time till I get there.

Additionally, when they are saying that they are not censored, can I censor it to my preferences? For example, one of the biggest problems on Twitter is lack of "negative keywords" filter. I like to follow people, but I can't control what they tweet about and I don't really care about some topics such as grammy, fashion etc. I would love to avoid these keywords, not the entire person.

It wasn't easy enough to use for non technically minded people, and it didn't have a cute name.
