Don’t know if this goes here or in /AskLemmy, but just wanted to know the best FOSS social networks, why are there so good? What would be the propietary equivalent?

    For facebook alternative I’ll say #Minds is the most mature but the problem there is lack of moderation and is home for many conspiracy theorists.

    Adding to this, Minds also rewards their users with Ethereum, based on their interactions with the website. Very much not a fan of this. This encourages their users to post as much as possible for the sake of earning money, which results in a flood of posts, most of which are of low quality.

    On another note, how is this a facebook alternative? Looking at their discovery page, it does remind me of a certain social network, but it ain’t facebook.

      There’s really not a feature by feature alternative to Facebook. Specifically not FOSS. What social network Minds remind you of?

      Disclaimer* I don’t have a Facebook account for years now, and made a Minds acc just to look it’d features.

        Give Minds a black background and some annoying popups about cookie preferences and you pretty much have Twitter.
