i came up with the idea of a no meta may challenge super last minute and i’ve been enjoying a migraine all day, so i’m taking a break. not a great time for a break when the first day of the challenge ends today but it’s probably fine

i know it’s not great and not everyone will agree with my choices; at the end of the day i think we can all at least agree that the alternatives are still an improvement over staying with meta

thinking i might want to increase the font size on the challenges

if you think it’s a good idea, feel free to edit, share, make your own, idc, fucc the zucc

An orange themed image discussing the “No Meta May Challenge”. It reads, “ Tired of corporate spyware and feeds littered with ads? Ready for something better and more exciting??? Then it sounds like you may be ready to join the No Meta May Challenge! Week One: 🚫 Threads, ✅ Wafrn May 1st - May 8th • interact with posts from other Fediverse sites like Mastodon, Misskey, and more! • can interact with posts from Bluesky (optional!) • charming, janky, CSS crimes • will run doom if you ask it Week Two : 🚫 WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, ✅ Signal May 9th - May 16th • messages actually between you and whoever you're messaging, rather than between you, whoever you're messaging, and zucc Week Three: 🚫 Instagram, ✅ Pixelfed and Loops May 17th - May 23rd • say goodbye to ads! you don't even need an ad-blocker • layouts of both sites are familiar • apps already available Week Four (FINAL BOSS): 🚫Facebook, ✅ Fedibook May 24th - May 30th • still relatively new, but just in time for #NoMetaMay • familiar layout compared to friendica May 31st: Congratulations!

Never heard of Fedibook, nice I have something new to research, thanks!

I just recently moved on to Misskey/Sharkey to replace Bluesky and X for myself. Signal is the next one I need to look into a lot more as I still use FB Messenger and need to get away from it

    fedibook seems really new; i think it’s only been up for a few weeks? but it looks close to facebook, and apparently has an option to import facebook posts

    i couldn’t find any screenshots of it, but i took some of my own after making a throwaway account

    for me, it just feels closer to facebook design-wise than friendica and diaspora. every friendica instance that has a normie-friendly url seemed glitchy or just flat out took forever to load. before i stumbled upon fedibook, i was thinking about recommending spacehey or bliish (which are also interesting, but spacehey is invite-only right now; can’t remember what i didn’t like about bliish)

    Thanks for those!

    Yeah seems to be much closer to that FB design than what I remember with Friendica. I tried it about a year ago and moved on from it pretty quickly, same experience that it just seemed buggy and slow.

    I'll keep an eye on Fedibook, thanks again!
