Facebook won’t ever recapture that old feeling. But Friendica has it.

    The one where Zuckerberg was stalking his fellow female students, or the one where he was threatening people with their private data? You know, BEFORE he went mask-off pro-facist.

    As long as you can’t default sort by updates from people you actually want updates from, and omit the fire hose of unsolicited ads and propaganda, it will never even get a whiff of what it started out as.

    I have the tiny luxury to not know what anybody’s talking about because I have never had a facebook account.

    Woo!

      It was useful and fun, not facebook as a company but the community and meeting people you havent in a while or otherwise never would.

      I am still hesitant to delete my dormant account for the one or two people I met travelling that I may look to bump into again if I visit them or they me.

    Just took a look at Friendica for the first time last night. It’s wild how something as simple as proper post formatting and wide open attachment options are enough to make me wish all my friends were on it. Way more personal feeling.

    Too little (probably), too late. The platform has been taken over by bots with AI slop and forwards from Grandma and that’s damn near all that shows up in my feed anymore. I really hope Bluesky catches on

    Has anyone here installed friendica? I tried to give it a go yesterday with the the docker image. The login page is showing up, but it is giving me HTTP 500 errors when I click sign up I also get no errors in any logs.
