I use FB because my family is on their.

My feed is almost entirely not my family, but “suggested” posts, and it made me realize I really hope something becomes popular to replace FB next and my family moves there.

What type of site do you hope becomes popular on the fediverse next?

    Friendica is 13 years old, but it takes a lot to get people to leave what they’re comfortable with.

      I found Friendica to work well for one user, but as soon as you add more, you really need to scale up and it gets very expensive to host very fast. I also had this issue where Google would just block my server, so anyone with a gmail account couldn’t get their login info…

      There are things I like about it, and as the Fediverse as a whole starts growing, I might just set up a single-use Friendica instance for myself, but be prepared for headaches if you want to get a “small” server for your family.
