@doriandiaconuro Friendica is is the fediverse’s alternative to Facebook. As far as I’m concerned we don’t need anything more.
@estibensito_ Thanks for this! This fits the exact purpose of the article. We don’t need other solutions, just promote the old ones.
@doriandiaconuro come again? AI is supposed to be fact checking us now? 😂😂😂 Hard pass
@largo Yup. You read it right 😬
