Friendica, and to a lesser extent, misskey and it's forks

Twitter/X to Bluesky
Why do you flee a billionaire owned centralized platform only to go to an other billionaire owned centralized platform? (Yes, I know that in theory Bluesky is federated, but as long as there aren't alternatives to the official server(s) Bluesky is effectively a centralized platform). Use Mastodon/Akkoma/Pleroma/whatever, you're already on the fediverse through lemmy, might as well go with a full fediverse suite.
Also, a facebook alternative would be Friendica from what I've seen, but I'm not on it so don't take my words for it and go see for yourself.

Wasn't friendica it? I don't need a replacement for Facebook. Barely use Facebook as it is. I was one of the few people that stood on them axing the chronological friends only feed. Once they fucked that up, I just said wow, Facebook is full of crap I don't care about now. Guess I don't need to use it.

Tbh, to me, a replacement for facebook is what I'm looking most for. I used to use facebook a lot to organise stuff with different friend-groups, and now that most people don't ever use it, that's a lot harder.
Facebook was the de-facto primary communication channel for organising events or coordinating hobby groups. It honestly makes me sad that they broke it to the point where I have a hard time inviting old friends that live out of town to a summer party or something. Likewise, I have a hard time being invited to stuff because I practically never check facebook.
Friendica may take over facebooks role at some point, but it's nowhere close yet. I made an account just to be on there for if/when it starts taking off. I hope the gap is filled sooner rather than later.

Bluesky is merely a stepping stone between Xwitter and Mastodon. Facebook can just die with them boomers.

i don’t think we need one?

In my social circles, people have moved from Facebook to Instagram and WhatsApp. To be honest, it's a different UI but the same algorithmic overlords.
The thing with Facebook/Meta is that it's not just one thing. It's a lot of different things under one umbrella. In general, the replacement for Meta is the Fediverse. But you need to be specific about which features you want to replace.
For long form posts, I've set up my own blog using Ghost. Ghost also has passable Fediverse support now, though it's still missing a lot of features.

Diaspora? I'm not sure if it is still being developed though.

Mastodon?

Mastadon is more like a Twitter replacement.

Friendica? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendica

Friendica is more like Mastodon tbh. A lot more functionality than Facebook, but honestly that's a bad thing. Too confusing and too many options for the average user.

Facebook kinda relied on having everyone on it. If there was a viable replacement, we'd know about it already
