This is the problem I’ve run into. I wanted to stay as part of a social group I’m nominally in, but that group’s only presence is on Facebook. And the group admins don’t want to move somewhere else because a) it’s change, and b) there aren’t many other options as good at managing such groups.
On a related topic, does anyone know of a good Federated alternative to Facebook. Or at least an alternative that’s less ad-riddled and more privacy-conscious)?
I looked around online last night and all the articles out there suggested things like Reddit, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter as Facebook alternatives, which are wrong on so many levels. I’m not that bothered about getting an alternative myself since I barely used FB anyway. But being my extended family’s tech support, I keep getting asked about what good alternatives are out there. I’m finding nothing, but I’m likely missing a good Federated option.
