@freemo is there a way of friending people like on facebook?

@Ilsa No facebook doesnt federate with mastodon or the fediverse

@freemo didn’t understand much of that reply, I’m afraid. I guess what I’m asking, is can you link with specific people? Can you have groups with specific interests? I find facebook useful/entertaining/enlightening, but I want to move away from it because ethically it stinks. I was looking for something with similar features that doesn’t track your data and microtarget you with political lies

@Ilsa Yes you can link with people here, its called following. Groups are usually done with hashtags and lists.

We dont track your data here either other than what is needed for the site to function obviously.
