Looks like Facebook is trying to scoop up the Twitter userbase now that it’s burning down.
I’m not opposed to a Twitter replacement/rival, but I really wish it wasn’t in the Facebook family.
Agreed, this is not the solution I’m looking for. It’s not quite there in terms of user on-boarding, but I’m rooting for Mastodon.
Open source and/or federated options should be the ultimate goal for the community needs of the internet. At least we have those options now–albeit in smaller scale than the originals. I don’t think they’ll reach mass adoption, though. Too many people don’t care or have become accustomed to the “free” centralized mega-hub websites to want an alternative. Look at current criticisms of lemmy et al.
I wont touch Meta products… so wont use it
