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.

    My personal opinion: FB is bad not just because of who owns it or how it’s operated. The very concept is harmful. I grew up in the 90s before the web existed. All the stupid stuff I did and said stays where it belongs, haunting my memories when I lie a wake at 3 AM. Now along comes social media. You over share your life, and it’s all associated with your real name and real face and real phone number. It’s all out there, forever, for everyone to see. No thanks.
