Unfortunately, because I only checked Facebook very rarely,</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>that meant I missed things, and I thought it better to delete my</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>account.</span><br></blockquote><span></span><br><span>It's around the same for me.</span><br><span>I started to lose information and being messy because friends expected me to be connect 24/7 on facebook and expect every post as read by me.</span><br><span>Also I start to have high concerns about privacy and being annoyed by some nested thing (like the ads, the profiling, the impossibility to really delete and control your data, the general tag "friend" for people the I even don't know, the censorship and more [1]). So I quited around 2012.</span><br><span></span><br><blockquote type="cite"><span>Are your interested in an alternative?</span><br></blockquote><span>Could be, it depends also by which purpose. I think that the big issue is that most of the people that would use it are already using facebook or something else, therefore they would not change just because of me.</span><br><span>I don't know either if I need a social network. For a lot of thing I'm already satisfied by other technology like emails and IRC, XMPP, SIP.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Maybe I'll have to give it a try, at least once-</span><br><span></span><br><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>Has anybody experience in using Friendica? Or do you think it is not</span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>so important?</span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>If one does use Friendica, the question then is whether to connect it to</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>Facebook and/or Google+ etc. - in that case does one have any more</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>control than if one just stayed with Facebook or Google+ in the first</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>place? I haven't worked that out yet.</span><br></blockquote><span></span><br><span>I'd suggest also diaspora [2] which faces the same result of friendica, but I've jet tried none of them. I thing both could be really good also for who need to use multiple social networks at the same time.</span><br><span></span><br><span>[1] <a href="https://stallman.org/facebook.html">https://stallman.org/facebook.html</a></span><br><span>[2] <a href="https://diasporafoundation.org/">https://diasporafoundation.org/</a></span><br><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Community mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Community@openphoenux.org">Community@openphoenux.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://lists.goldelico.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/community">http://lists.goldelico.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/community</a></span><br><span><a href="http://www.openphoenux.org">http://www.openphoenux.org</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
