It seems that every app developer is trying to cash in on Facebook's drop in popularity. But the apps are crap. They're clunky, don't download photos properly or freeze.
Shawn Andrew could you edit your original post with some more details, because as it stands, I don't quite see the relevance of it to this community. How is it relevant to the migration efforts for people looking to find alternatives to GPlus?
John Lewis I'm talking about looking for alternatives to Google Plus. Google play has dozens of apps on offer but the quality isn't there. They can be difficult to log back into, take ages to download photos you want to display etc... How difficult is that to understand. Apart from Diaspora, there's no great alternatives out there to Google plus. This post has nothing to do with FB . photos.
Filip H.F. Slagter I'm not talking about downloading from FB. I make the point that because of Facebook's decrease in popularity there must be dozens of app developers now trying to fill the gap in demand however judging from the apps I've downloaded and tried the apps are simply not reliable and clunky.
John Lewis I've tried You.me and the app kept freezing, there was another one which wouldn't let me log back in and recognise my password after I had set up an account. They're a joke. If the developer can't build an app properly then don't bother even thinking about it.
I got rid of Zuckerberg's treadmill years ago. You can see the phonbies everyday, in public places, stuck on their phones and scrolling endlessly like a rodent inside a hamster wheel.
Shawn Andrew I know we all feel your pains, we ended up here because it was enough, it fit, it was working for us. Now it's going away and there's pain, because nothing else really fits and no one seems willing to jump in and just clone Google+ for us.
The biggest take away for me has been how differently people used Google+. There are groups of people for whom, say, Flickr could be enough for 90% of what they did. But it's not for everyone. Diaspora could be 80% and Twitter 10%.
It would be hard to find 100%.
There are many resources here, and wikis with pages and pages of comparisons. If you ask for specifically what you would miss most, people can more accurately help you find something close. Your original message is just lacking enough context for any real answer.

? Relevance!
ReplyDeleteGregory Bagshaw There's no good alternative to Google Plus except Diaspora.

ReplyDeleteAside, why would you need an app to download photos off Facebook anyway, when their own data export (https://www.facebook.com/help/1701730696756992?helpref=hc_global_nav) already provides for that?

John Lewis Tumblr is only good if your artwork is not NSFW. Twitter is more a conversational medium.
