Now that I’ve spent a couple of days with MeWe and Pluspora I feel like I have a good general idea of them. I’m starting to look at others now so that I can make a proper decision of where I want to land. Today I’m checking out Friendica. It’s a decentralized social network akin to Pluspora, but it has the means of bridging to other social networks. This bridging ability gives it a hub-like feel to me. I am able to link to individual users on Diaspora/Pluspora, Mastodon, and Twitter. I am told that the test posts I made on Friendica appeared on Pluspora but I’m unable to see them. I have been unsuccessful at pushing posts to Twitter. Friendica has a few major issues. For starters there are a ton of options at set-up – enough that I think most casual users will simply walk away. Then it has issues with crashing and it has no mobile to speak of. There’s a junk app on the Play Store and there’s the clunky mobile site and that’s it other than desktop. I’m probably going to pass on Friendic...
