There are many #Friendica fans, and for good reason. Once you get past the learning curve from the difficult UI, you get to appreciate the extra benefits of built-in #Bluesky, #Lemmy/#Piefed/#MBIN, #Tumblr, and #RSS feed integration. It also has #Diasporia integration and some other protocol integrations. Of course, it's also a #Mastodon alternative.

Nobody ever mentions Friendica as being a #Threadiverse app, but it has Groups, which is built-in Threadiverse capability. If you follow a Community on Lemmy/Piefed/MBIN, for example, it gets categorized as a group and is placed into a separate section for the groups you are part of. Then you can read and post in the Group (Community/Magazine) just like you would on a Threadiverse application. You can also create public and private groups.

And there is no need to use a Bluesky bridge if the Friendica instance you are on has the integration turned on.

Here's an excellent 5-minute video showing Friendica created by @earthman@my-place.social for those interested in seeing how it works.

I still don’t like facebook. Even without the other stuff, I’m just not the type to document and share my life.

...

It’s there to solve a very real problem, that nobody is asking to fix.

"I'm not the type to comment and review books, and the people I do know who do that are old, so BookWyrm is solving a problem nobody asked to fix."

Maybe there are people, younger and more ideologically devoted to non-corporate services than your mom, who do like to share their lives with a limited set of friends and would like a service without all the evil stuff.
