I plan to end my Facebook account before January 19. I like the format and would like something similar in the Fediverse. Also, I need a good Facebook alternative I can show people when trying to convince them to leave Facebook.

So what is the best Facebook alternative as of 2025? Frendica, Diaspora or Pleroma? Or something new and promising?

    The solution there is to have them pick the instance rather than the underlying technology. To want to join, I don’t know, tenforward.social and chat with other Trekies (and connect to other communities as a bonus) rather than to join “Mastodon”.

    But everyone’s all focused on big social now, caysing usball to approach this backwards. Once you do that, things get more confusing and frustrating.

      Language and countries instances can also help build a feeling of community
