For a long time I thought there are no Facebook and Twitter alternatives but looks like Diaspora and Friendica have been around for about a decade. The real challenge is bringing your friends and family to these platforms. At least as a tech enthusiast there are plenty of content creators and open source software projects I can follow on the Fediverse, and I met some new people in the meantime.
@flav yes plenty good options and great thing is once you are on one, you can follow anywhere and be followed. Unfortunately family and friends tend not to move and they stay stuck in the walled garden.... If only Facebook and Twitter were forced to federate with the Fediverase...
@danie10
If Facebook and Twitter would federate with the Fediverse nobody would use their platforms full of ads and trackers. Their only advantage is the big user base. I'm glad to see there are also plenty YouTube alternatives, I'm using Lbry the most these days. I've changed my internet using habits lately, for news I'm using an RSS aggregator.
@danie10
Most of my friends and family are far away from me. When I'm going to Europe I'm gonna make Friendica accounts for all of them and force them to use them lol :))))
@flav yes difficult to decide between Friendica and Hubzilla as both packed with features. I did a video on each actually. There is Twitter integrations, photos, events, etc. Maybe you can even try hosting a node for the family.
