A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

@TheBaldness whatever service is degrading for me and have an alternative to is a service that I have an incentive to stop using. Friendica is so much better than Facebook. I never expected I would use it the way I use it today.
I don't use Facebook. Unfortunately, my neighbors use it to communicate. That's the only reason I have it. I've also used the marketplace, but prefer Craigslist.
@TheBaldness I just have it because I've used it for so long and not everyone is on other platforms. Or if they are, they're still Meta owned anyway. But since I've been on the Fediverse, I found myself using it less and less.
@TheBaldness it's an ActivityPub alternative to Facebook, kinda. Just like Lemmy is for Reddit or Mastodon is for Twitter.
You do have more privacy options, though, like, you can create a post and only allow visibility from a person or a group of people (let's say people that follow you but you also follow back, lists of people etc.)
There are other alternatives using different protocols, such as Diaspora (where the ownership is different, as in, if you create a post, all the comments below it belong to you as well, I don't know how this works), or Hubzilla which uses AP to communicate with other networks, but uses a protocol called Zot internally.
