Where I’m at (US, decades behind), fb is still the most used platform. The entire city is on it. everyone has it.
The issue. There is zero alternative. Ive asked this on here like 3 times. I either get no answers or someone says use matrix etc. Thats not like fb. I see no solution to this and nothing will ever change until we do. Signal.is the best thing becuase it almost carbon copied all the other messaging apps and it is very easy to switch someone over.
Someone trying to go to friendica or matrix from fb is going to be veeerryyyyy confused. Remember most people dont have a computer anymore and tech literacy is at an all time low.
I don’t think there is a Facebook alternative.
Mastodon maybe With the feed of pictures and text posts from people you follow… But. Yeah I don’t know an actual alternative.
Damn. I mean, yeah friendica exists but I’m not sure it’s a 1:1…which is basically what normies need. Like Signal. It’s like a perfect clone of other messaging apps so the majority of humans can get it.
