Friendica, would be the fediverse alternave to Facebook, giving the possibility to have private groups.
Here an article from (of course) @_elena
https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-3-friendica/
There are not that many #friendica instances, unfortunately
@luca @zompetto @hpod16 @_elena
How "usable" is #friendica by now? Does anybody know?

@zompetto @hpod16 we do have marketplace alternatives! They usually vary by regions and countries. For example, you have ebay, which is the biggest, but in france, you may use leboncoin, while in some eastern european countries and netherlands there's the olx giant. At least in romania olx is the most popular, the oldest and the main reason why facebook marketplace didn't really take off here
@clouderst The problem is that people want to buy directly from social media. They want to buy a piece that their favourite artist shows, they don't search leboncoin for it. A lot of people are only on Insta because it's an important part for earning their life. And Mastodon is still no alternative (many artist get aggressed for posting their shop links). Leboncoin is good to sell an old table ...

@vladcampos so is making them specifically "European", whatever that means in a world were software development is more often than not, developed using off-shored and out-sourced teams from all over the globe, using development tools and software libraries, and online services that are even more developed by a global coalition of contributors. Attributing nationality hides this people work, to serve silly and missguided goals.
@DiogoConstantino I think, "European" means the seat of the company, the legislation, the laws and regulations. And if you give the data to US clouds or in other dangerous places or place them in the EU. It's not about the internationality of a network.

@clouderst But the team that develops Mastodon is aware of it and they have good ideas. That takes time and costs money while big platforms have their billionaires. @zompetto @hpod16

@hpod16
Depends. Do you defend the murderous border regime of the eu with its concentration camps and the support of the genocidal israeli state?If no, I'd be interested.

@hpod16 Yes, as long they don't bring the #ageverification and #digitalid shite over those places as well ! There are already very good alternatives to #whatsapp that don' t even require a phone number e.g. @session @Jami
People value their privacy, as long as it's that's the core you are developing #socialmedia around instead of abusing their data !

@NatureMC @zompetto @hpod16 i'm not denying the aggression thing. It's just bad cause how do people expect artists to make money if they don't promote themselves!
now even though people want to buy from social media, instagram doesn't have a marketplace of its own, nor does it take any taxes for promotion. It's an advertising platform, not a marketplace. The same goes for every other platform excepting youtube and facebook. Facebook marketplace was designed to be a replacement for services like leboncoin. Since most of facebook's userbase is old, they decided to capitalize on that since most young people don't tend to buy old.
Literally no artist puts up their work on facebook marketplace and if they do, they advertise and send the user to another platform (patreon ko-fi etc), just how they do on insta, twitter etc -
