Friendica, and to a lesser extent, misskey and it’s forks

Bluesky is merely a stepping stone between Xwitter and Mastodon. Facebook can just die with them boomers.

i don’t think we need one?

In my social circles, people have moved from Facebook to Instagram and WhatsApp. To be honest, it’s a different UI but the same algorithmic overlords.

The thing with Facebook/Meta is that it’s not just one thing. It’s a lot of different things under one umbrella. In general, the replacement for Meta is the Fediverse. But you need to be specific about which features you want to replace.

For long form posts, I’ve set up my own blog using Ghost. Ghost also has passable Fediverse support now, though it’s still missing a lot of features.

Friendica? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendica

from what i hear about what facebook is like these days, maybe craigslist.

Mastodon?

Diaspora? I’m not sure if it is still being developed though.
