My gripe with promoting Mastodon in the #deleteFacebook context is that Mastodon isn't really designed for Facebook's use-cases; it's designed for Twitter's use-cases (and to some extent Instagram's?).

Over at Aardwolf, we're trying to design something for Facebook's use-cases, but it's really slow going, and I'm frustrated at not having anything to show while Facebook melts down.

@gcupc :/ facebook will have many more crises I guess.
as a facebook alternative, I quite liked diaspora, but it's not federating with Mastodon, and I simply don't know anyone who's active on there. it was always a few techbros and that was it.. ok each time facebook was melting 5 people came to diaspora, posted for a week, and then went back to facebook.
