OK fediverse, your challenge: I have an older relative who plans lots of community events and manages them from facebook - but even she notices that there aren't so many people on facebook anymore. So the question is, what would the unlocked garden be to replace facebook? As in an easy to use interface where anyone can find out what's going on in a given local community event? #ReplaceFacebook

I want to convince people to #DeleteFacebook or #ReplaceFacebook . What are the best resources (books, links, videos, etc.) you have to help me to do that?

Also, is there a place that ranks the worst social media offenders in terms of violation of privacy as well as other ethical issues?

I *really* need to do some writing about why it is so hard to #replaceFacebook - a key challenge is the “directory” of users. But I need to write more.... (after the holidays at this point)
