Wasn’t friendica it? I don’t need a replacement for Facebook. Barely use Facebook as it is. I was one of the few people that stood on them axing the chronological friends only feed. Once they fucked that up, I just said wow, Facebook is full of crap I don’t care about now. Guess I don’t need to use it.

Yeah, Facebook was great when it actually connected people together. Now it’s just a cesspool of AI slop and boomers

Capitalism. That’s how we got here.
Bluesky is merely a stepping stone between Xwitter and Mastodon. Facebook can just die with them boomers.
Mastodon?
Mastadon is more like a Twitter replacement.
Friendica, and to a lesser extent, misskey and it’s forks
Friendica? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendica
Friendica is more like Mastodon tbh. A lot more functionality than Facebook, but honestly that’s a bad thing. Too confusing and too many options for the average user.
Twitter/X to Bluesky
Why do you flee a billionaire owned centralized platform only to go to an other billionaire owned centralized platform? (Yes, I know that in theory Bluesky is federated, but as long as there aren’t alternatives to the official server(s) Bluesky is effectively a centralized platform). Use Mastodon/Akkoma/Pleroma/whatever, you’re already on the fediverse through lemmy, might as well go with a full fediverse suite.
Also, a facebook alternative would be Friendica from what I’ve seen, but I’m not on it so don’t take my words for it and go see for yourself.
i don’t think we need one?
from what i hear about what facebook is like these days, maybe craigslist.
Hey our names are similar
In my social circles, people have moved from Facebook to Instagram and WhatsApp. To be honest, it’s a different UI but the same algorithmic overlords.
The thing with Facebook/Meta is that it’s not just one thing. It’s a lot of different things under one umbrella. In general, the replacement for Meta is the Fediverse. But you need to be specific about which features you want to replace.
For long form posts, I’ve set up my own blog using Ghost. Ghost also has passable Fediverse support now, though it’s still missing a lot of features.
Diaspora? I’m not sure if it is still being developed though.
