    Here’s a word of advice: do not use that sack of shit company for anything. Always use decentralized alternatives wherever possible

      I signed up for friendica, after 2 decades of having never used facebook.

      It’s blank, and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.

      I can’t comment on what the facebook experience is, but I imagine they don’t just dump you onto a blank white page, with zero explaination.

      Note that I am NOT defending or endorsing facebook. I’m just saying the decentralized services have work to do before they can fully be reccomended.

      I also recently signed up for pixelfed. It took 3 days to login the first time. And I’m still not sure what the point of collections is. But I did upload 4 pictures.

      When the entire country (not USA or EU) uses Instagram and WhatsApp for communication, your hand is forced to use it too.

        It’s called network effect and it’s the reason why most people are forced to use WhatsApp or Facebook
