    I’ve been looking for an alternative to Facebook that I could recommend to non-tech-savvy relatives, but I haven’t been coming up with many compelling options. I posted on DailyKos (“Alternatives to the ‘F-word’?”), but it seems that BlueSky was the only popular option (which is really designed to be an alternative to Twitter rather than Facebook). Do y’all think that BlueSky will become a bona fide alternative to Facebook before the mainstream public gets religion regarding the Fediverse?

    I love how journalism is all garbage, even the one around technology. It just took a bunch of declarations and suddenly Meta/FB is the target to avoid and cancel. As if there weren’t many more and much better reasons to NOT use those platforms than this simple and expected political realignment.

    I certainly hope a majority of Fediverse operators will decide to defederate Threads. I always thought it was important not to help Zuck grow his walled garden for free, but now it’s clearly a matter of decency.

      Decency or even legality. If Zuck knowingly hosts hate speech, you don’t want that federated onto your platform or you can be sued, too.
