TFW a bottom-up movement willing to actually implement left-wing policies, that is coop-friendly and self-organized uses a Facebook page as their main organizing tool...
@Antanicus Guilty as charged! The problem is that the first step -- out of FB's golden cage of convenience into the world of community self-organization is not an easy sell, as we all know. My transitional policy is to use both and always promote cooperative or FLOSS tools. #socialcoop #degooglisons #deletefacebook

@Matt_Noyes @Antanicus Yes, that's a great first step.

Also, am I right that it's the group functionality that they use the most? This seems like a serious gap in the FLOSS ecosystem. Someone please speak up if you know of good alternatives here.

I wonder if #Drutopia can help in this space.

@clayton @Antanicus @Matt_Noyes Depends on your definition of good, but I see #hubzilla as an increasingly positive alternative for this.
@neil @Matt_Noyes @Antanicus i've seen #hubzilla referenced in a few different conversations now. I'll check it out. Have either of you used it?
@clayton Hello,
I am currently starting some experiments with hubzilla. I was previously running a Diaspora pod (for 5 years), and I was really hooked by the promises of Friendica/Red with a real portabily in the Federation + Fediverse. It looks like this future is now completed by Hubzilla! I will report my progress here. I already have one instance running behind a nginx reverse proxy and I am currently planning to install two more on other servers for testing.

@pierreb Right on! Looking forward to your updates on it.

I'd like Drutopia sites to support federation and the #indieweb

How cool would it be to have Hubzilla and Drutopia sites talking with one another.

@clayton #hubzilla is interoperable with the #fediverse and the #federation (but portability breaks heterogenous social link) if drutopia can interoperate via Salmon protocol or activitypub this may end in a loosy tied network
