I’ve been looking for an alternative to Facebook that I could recommend to non-tech-savvy relatives, but I haven’t been coming up with many compelling options. I posted on DailyKos (“Alternatives to the ‘F-word’?”), but it seems that BlueSky was the only popular option (which is really designed to be an alternative to Twitter rather than Facebook). Do y’all think that BlueSky will become a bona fide alternative to Facebook before the mainstream public gets religion regarding the Fediverse?
I love how journalism is all garbage, even the one around technology. It just took a bunch of declarations and suddenly Meta/FB is the target to avoid and cancel. As if there weren’t many more and much better reasons to NOT use those platforms than this simple and expected political realignment.
Yes, I only respect journalists who never update their opinions or recommendations given new information. Everyone needs to use psychic foresight to determine the best takes and then never ever change them. Meta was always exactly as bad as it is today. /s
All of journalism? Um. No.
