> So what do you, the reader, do next?
Sadly (for me), this section only lists alternatives like Mastodon and Pleroma (for Twitter), Pixelfed for Instagram and PeerTube for YouTube. What I would like to see is something like Facebook Groups, which is topic/community focused, allows anyone to post (assuming admins allow), allows anyone in the group to respond or follow, etc. Even something like Reddit may be similar. Twitter and Instagram clones are good for following a few people and occasionally interacting with them, but to me they seem cumbersome with the "one to many" nature of their networks/graphs.
- mistermegabyte 3y agoI have been digging a small, awesome site called Blue Dwarf (https://bluedwarf.top/cackle/index.php https://bluedwarf.top/cackle/index.php). It is everything you described above except I don't know if it is like Facebook groups or not because I haven't used Facebook.

- homefree 3y agoNot sure if you’ve looked at urbit and the tlon app, but it’s come a long way for groups. It also doesn’t rely on a benevolent administrator like mastodon does, each user has their own urbit tied to their ID. Disclaimer that I work on it, but I think it does a better job of solving the underlying issues than federated setups like mastodon. https://tlon.io/ https://tlon.io/
