There are some great #FOSS solutions for social apps but barely anybody uses them, so it gets hard to push for IRL friends to use them.

@realcaseyrollins @freeschool I tried to get my family to use Jetsi instead of Zoom, but my sister rejected it because she won't get to do the dance from the PBS Kids Show from the same name.
@freeschool @realcaseyrollins Mastodon, Pleroma, GNU Social, etc are more Twitter replacements and most people don't use Twitter unless they are celebrities, artists, businesses, organizations, activists, etc or they want to interact with them. Otherwise, there really isn't a point to using it.
It's not like Facebook where people just use it to interact with friends and family, and the FOSS/decentralized Facebook replacements like Diaspora are pretty much dead at this point. I will just stick to email and messaging apps for communication with friends and family. You could try to set up a Retroshare network for them, but I haven't tried that thing.
@xianc78 @realcaseyrollins Agree - am trying to get more debate or wishlists going so people can express and get some practice in and real effect on another person. Interested even as a quick test?
@xianc78 @realcaseyrollins I guess also by the same way that there no chance of
/ Mastodon either ? (it's definitely a a big step and different social to Jitsi as a choice)
