WT.Social, also known as WikiTribune Social, WT or Trust Café, is a microblogging and social networking service on which users contribute to "subwikis". It was founded in October 2019 by Wikipedia cofounder Jimmy Wales as an alternative to Facebook and Twitter.[1] The service contains no advertisements and runs on donations. On launch it gained 400,000 registered users by December 3, 2019. Member growth was less rapid thereafter; the site had 508,980 users on November 5, 2022. In 2023 a beta for a successor version was launched, branded "Trust Café".
