i don’t think we need one?
None replace others. Most people already have creators and people they follow on twitter, reddit etc , x and lemmy can limit your usage of the centralized social media but not fully replace.
For the question of activitypub equivalent of facebook is friendica but personally my running and neighbourhood on facebook and family and friend i know is too valuable for me and friendica ux is too terrible
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.
Tbh, to me, a replacement for facebook is what I’m looking most for. I used to use facebook a lot to organise stuff with different friend-groups, and now that most people don’t ever use it, that’s a lot harder.
Facebook was the de-facto primary communication channel for organising events or coordinating hobby groups. It honestly makes me sad that they broke it to the point where I have a hard time inviting old friends that live out of town to a summer party or something. Likewise, I have a hard time being invited to stuff because I practically never check facebook.
Friendica may take over facebooks role at some point, but it’s nowhere close yet. I made an account just to be on there for if/when it starts taking off. I hope the gap is filled sooner rather than later.
Yeah, Facebook was great when it actually connected people together. Now it’s just a cesspool of AI slop and boomers
EXACTLY! I can’t believe that I’ve basically forgotten how the function of “social media” at a point in the not-too-distant past was actually to help real people stay in touch and organise real social events… how did we even end up where we are now? There was a golden age for a couple years where stuff like facebook brought a net positive to the world. Just makes me sad to think about where we ended up…
Capitalism. That’s how we got here.
Bluesky is merely a stepping stone between Xwitter and Mastodon. Facebook can just die with them boomers.
Friendica? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendica
from what i hear about what facebook is like these days, maybe craigslist.
Mastodon?
Mastadon is more like a Twitter replacement.
