    Ok? Then where is it? Give me a Facebook that isn’t shit. I want to connect to a small group of friends, share photos and stories and not be “profiled”.

    People i haven’t met should not be able to see anything I post, even if we share friends. I’d make it so you’d have to connect with NFC or something before they could see your stuff.

    This influencer crap would not exist there. Nor should it anywhere, but that’s just my opinion.

        I want my mother to be able to upload videos of the kids and watch videos others have posted. Friendica fails at this first hurdle, it’s simply not user friendly enough to do that.

        I have been waiting years for something to come along that can do this well.

      Sounds like you want an E2E encrypted group chat rather than social media.

      What you mean by “connect with NFC”? Like meet in person to connect?

        His idea yes.
        But having a social network where something can be viewed by everyone and something only by your friends is not bad, think something like a federated social that is a middle ground between facebook and patreon, maybe using a public key infrastructure to decide who could see your not public post.

          It’s certainly not bad. I didn’t mean to sound critical. I just wanted to point out that it very much exists. Even Meta offers e2ee, and, I think, faced some legal criticism.

      Have you tried mastodon? Pleroma? Misskey? Akkoma? None of them have pointlessly complicated nonsense like “NFC” or whatever but all of them let you share things with a small group of friends and have control over who can see whatever you post. There are people using fedi like that. You may find it difficult to find them, for obvious reasons. But if you and your friends want to start doing it there’s nothing stopping you.
