One of the things I really loved about Facebook was the ability to chat. I'm really looking forward to a website were I can log into my Mastodon and a XMPP/Matrix (or whatever) client at the same time.
My time line on the right and my chats on the left.
Maybe I just need to develop this myself.
To make it easier for people that know me IRL to find me, I'm actually going to use my IRL name + profile picture on Mastodon now.
Actually planning to (at least try and) make this program. Don't get your hopes up just yet!
@thegimmickhacker why not like a Freebook ? Mastodon is a Twitter clone but I do not know any FB ones
Another thing I miss about Facebook was that most people I know IRL are on there as well. It was really easy to get in contact with someone I just met, just look him/her up and you've got a chat mate. Now I just have to chat with strangers or people I've met earlier online. Not that it is a bad thing, but just different. Still need to get used to it.
