Main legacy social media apps suck. So let’s switch everyone to better. I fully get the NoSocialMedia movement but we must remember that it is a thing because legacy social media is horrible.
Also it would be good to contact people internationally. So here are open source alternatives I hope you will try out then help others get on board:
Twitter ➡️ Mastodon
Instagram ➡️ Pixelfed, & Flashes
TkTok ➡️ Loops by Pixelfed, & Spark (Spark.so)
Discord ➡️ Stoat
Snapchat/Whatsapp ➡️ Sup
YouTube ➡️ PeerTube
Meetup ➡️ Mobilizon
Facebook ➡️ ???
Pinterest ➡️ ???
Amino ➡️ ???
Also potential solution for the Network Effect. Instead of having everyone switch fully from one to the other just have them have a foot on both sides till everyone switches over eventually
That’s basically what Linux is doing and with time/usage people will get off them since they enjoy the experience of the better alternative. Brining others onto them too since they exist on both sides
Facebook > Friendica
Hope an app can be made whether it is 1st or 3rd party. Surprised it hasnt happened yet
We think that most folks in fedi don’t particularly care for facebook, nor alternatives for it. We might be incorrect and a dedicated app might change that, but that’s the feeling we get for now.
That makes a lot of sense now when you say it like that
Sure. Might be worth adding to the top level post also.
