@jbauer I saw your blog 'Mastodon Is Dead, Long Live Misskey' and found it very hopeful. It's been years since I removed myself from facebook and embrace Mastodon and Pixelfed which are good replacements for Twitter and Instagram. I tried other fediverse platforms but none is a decent replacement for facebook. friendica is the closest but its too cumbersome and unintuitive.

@jbauer for a while I've been looking for a platform for social sharing and interactions with my family and close friends that is secure and private but have found none. Watching #LouisRossmann videos I found out that his organization is making several apps, one of them called 'Circles', that is similar to the features I'm looking for. But is still in Beta stage. Cumbersome for non-tech people same as friendica. So I keep looking and my next target to try is Misskey.
