Let’s say you have 800 friends. What service do you recommend to try to convince FB users to move ? This platform would have to have all the same functions, videos, pictures, events, pages, etc.
I know of nothing like this i could even suggest to friends to switch to (and there’s almost no way anyone actually would) but I am curious. I dont think it exists, likely purely of the cost to run such a platform without it being a data stealing cesspool like fb.
And dont say “the fediverse” because I hardly understand how it works myself, and the links are scary looking to my friends so that is a no go.
This expectation comes from inertia, not need. No system, thing, or product can ever succeed at checking everyone’s little boxes from another product in a satisfactory way.
Also both you and your friends are older, different people now. The old magic will not come back. Figure out what you actually actually need and find something new that will be good at that.
Facebook was new and confusing once. If you can face that again, you’ll find beautiful things.
I agree. Im about the only person i know that digs into new and confusing things technologically, unfortunately. The rest are all just tired and want daddy zucc to do it for them.
