Alternative Social Media Platforms
Alternative Social Media Platforms
hello recently i deleted my facebook and im looking for good decent alternatives for facebook what options are there?
You're viewing a single thread.
Problem is if social media is being used to stay in contact with friends / family then you are stuck with where they are, as they generally don't move to a new network with you. If it is for news etc, I actually prefer a good selection of RSS feeds that I follow in my RSS reader.
I'm on lots of different social networks for blogging and although MeWe has my far biggest followings, it is centralised and non-FOSS - it's the site I've also had the most troll issues on. The Fediverse (numerous site services to choose from) has the most potential, being open and federated widely.
Speaking as a non-Meta user for the past several years, I just centre my interactions around people who use the various forms of social media (mostly open source and no FB / insta etc) ...
If people fall out of touch because they don't want to move away from Meta, they're not people I want to spend my time talking to. A degree of stubbornness is required, but eventually I've found sufficient interactions are possible on more desirable platforms, and I don't miss Meta at all, nor the people I left behind there.
