I haven't checked Alexa rank of Minds.com for a while but it seems like this website was steadily growing over the past year. It's still in beta (not a final product) but if its growth will continue, it can become big. Why do I think it? Because it seems to be growing organically, not because of some hype - people seem to like the website and they find it valuable. And to be honest, I like it, too. They did a great job since I opened my account almost two years ago.

A few of the refugees from Tsu have made it over to Steemit. You may want to catch up with them there.
https://steemit.com/@jumowa Jumowa joined a while ago, but has been posting recently and is doing well.
https://steemit.com/@the-bitcoin-dood The dood brought me to Steemit. He's been posting about cryptocurrency, which is a hot topic there as you may expect.
https://steemit.com/@uwelang Uwe just started posting again there.
There are a few others who are not currently active. You may find some via the Tsu tag https://steemit.com/created/tsu
It's going well for me. I made around $100 in the last week or so, but the Steem price is currently dropping. I have kept some in Steem Dollars which generally keep their value. I'm going to use some of that to buy things from other users.

I think this may be your last chance to get your posts and photos. You should still be able to log in to do this. I don't know what use anyone can make of the files provided, but I think this was the least they could do after cutting us off so suddenly.
I wonder if this will be left available for a little longer or if they will just shut down the domain.

Synereo
Many of us started to search for alternatives after a recent tsu shutdown and so I did, too. For some time, I have been following a development of a project which should satisfy all of us - content creators, content curators, marketers, networkers, average social media users, advertisers... The Synereo project has a huge potential and it solves many problems we see in social media today (compensation, privacy, spam, manipulation). It's designed to be easily scalable to the size of Facebook (in terms of data storage) and to the size of Visa (in terms of number of transactions on the network). {for tech people - they have solved all of the limitations of blockchain}
It should also provide features that we can't even think about yet because people can build their own decentralized applications on top of the technological stack of Synereo.
However, it is still not launched yet and the Alpha release is set to be launched in September 2016. So all of I'm writing in this post is a very, very early info, many questions will need to be answered and a lot of development need to be done before we can have a full featured social network. All I want is to start a discussion and if we all like it, we can help to shape the next generation social network together in September. In the meanwhile, feel free to discuss about it and ask questions.
What is Synereo?
I will describe all I know about Synereo with my own words and knowledge, hopefully as correctly as possible. Synereo could be described as an Android for decentralized web. It means they will to provide an infrastructure for decentralized apps. The first app built on top of this infrastructure is a decentralized social network. The next app can be decentralized Uber or Airbnb, it will be up to developers and their imagination what they can build. (Sky is the limit)
The main advantage is that on Synereo, you can directly connect with other people and exchange the value without a middleman. These two aspects are very important because these days, everything we do on current Internet is through a middleman. For example, when we search on Google, talk with friends via Skype, Facebook, or if we book an accommodation on Airbnb - we always do it through a middleman. And when we want to send money to someone, we always need a bank - another middleman. And more and more often we lose a trust to these middlemen, either due to their attitude of "selling our data to the highest bidder", lack of privacy or just because of their greed.
Synereo should be a social network, the first app build on scalable decentralized infrastructure, where we can directly connect with each other and exchange the value without a middleman. That is the most important aspect I can see in this project.
Attention Economy & Reputation
On the Synereo network, there is a built in economy that understands our attention as a scarce commodity and thus we should be paid if someone wants to reach our attention (and mainly - if we create a content that attracts attention of other people). In the network, there is a built in reputation system called REO and the higher our REO is, the more must an advertiser pay to reach our attention. Also the higher our REO is, the more people can see our content organically (it has a higher reach). This new economy and reputation system incentivize people to be a valuable part of their community. (end to the "nice" type of people?)
The video below shows you the attention economy in action and it's just one of many possible scenarios. Please don't take the design of the tech demo seriously, the video is from April 2015 and it should only show you what is the attention economy all about. AMPs are the currency on the network and you can read about them below. The work with labels on the left and the people on the right is nothing else than work with hashtags and contacts (tagging).
AMP
There is no $ or € on the network. The AMP is the name for a digital token which will power the Synereo economy. It's something like Bitcoin - a digital cryptocurrency which can be purchased on the exchange like Poloniex with Bitcoin. Bitcoin can be purchased with real money on many exchanges like Coinbase. I will do a tutorial about how to buy and safely store a cryptocurrency in the next few days. In the meantime, feel free to ask me anything and don't be scared about crypto - it's much better than $ as the value of AMPs will grow gradually with the real use of AMPs on the network.
Advertisers will buy AMPs on exchanges in order to boost their campaigns or to amplify our content and it will drive real money into the economy.
Data Storage & Servers?
Maybe you wonder who will provide all of the data storage, computing power and internet connectivity to run a global social network. Well, all of us can participate and earn AMPs for providing resources to the network. All you need to do is to install a small piece of software which will use your free disk space and free connectivity to power the network. These resources will make a decentralized cloud. And for providing resources to the network you will be rewarded with AMPs. It's very similar to Bitcoin mining.
Privacy
As there is no middleman, all data are encrypted and stored across the decentralized cloud and you are the only one who have the access & control over your data.
Advantages of Decentralized Social Network
The main advantage - there is no single point of failure. The network can't be shut down, censored or manipulated. As long as you have the internet connection, you can access Synereo. All of its code is open source and the development is very transparent so everyone should do their own research to understand it as much as possible. Only this way you can build a trust into this technology and I recommend you such an approach.
Synereo Alpha - Features:
According to the official blog post (I recommend to read it), we can see these features in the first version of Synereo:
Deployment of decentralized nodes on your local machines Creation of private connections between users Text posting with featured image (hosted on the decentralized cloud) Content labels (#hashtags) Decentralized search capability by label and user Content amplification with test-net AMPs (expect more info about this and how test-net AMPs will be exchangeable for real AMPs) 3-tier content viewing: browse, expand, and full view AMP rewards for completing certain actions on the application, as well as for opting to report usage statistics relating to the attention economy
The Alpha version of Synereo will run with testing AMPs for a two months to ensure it will not put people's real money into risk without proper testing. So we should be able to play around and provide a valuable feedback to developers!
Crowdsale:
In September, there will be a crowdsale to ensure funding of the development and everyone can participate in it. People will be able to purchase AMPs directly from Synereo at a price that should be "prevailed market price". More news should be available on the Synereo website soon.
