I don’t like Facebook, but my mother and my father-in law both have facebooks. I tried some different social medias but I can’t make my mom go because the social medias are from other countries and stuff. Are there any American social medias where my mom would feel comfortable putting her face on?
I usually don’t put my face on social medias, sometimes I’ll put a photo of a guy who kind of looks like me, and choose a photo that’s taken from really far away, and people who don’t know me that well will think it’s me. My mom likes to put a headshot and then pixilated photos of the American flag and quotes from celebrity women she likes. That’s kind of a facebook thing. Are there any social medias like that?
Merry Christmas to all the Christians. I’m not Christian, so I get to be here. See you after church. I get to enjoy myself, and you’re in uncomfortable clothing, hahaha.
Well I’d lean on the shoulder of giants in terms of the actual service and not do it completely from scratch given we’ve got Facebook-likes in the fediverse, you could suggest to them. But basically yes from a network perspective unfortunately
Although you have given me an idea for an angle that the fediverse is perfect for: set up an instance for your local area
That allows you to also do the “screw untrustworthy big tech, keep things local with people you know” kind of angle.
Also obviously a fair bit of work, and you still have to ultimately convince people to use it, but worth highlighting regardless.
