All social media has a heavy censorship with people getting deleted for saying the wrong views or hurt feelings, it’s only a question of how much you will self sencor before being banned.

Accounts being banned have nothing to do with behaviour, look at the list of subjects and lifestyles a user is not allowed to criticize.

Friendica, Mobilizon and Hubzilla can all be compared to Facebook. I have an accound on Friendica and I like how well it supports federation with all Fediverse platforms, from Mastodon to Lemmy.

Writing this from Friendica. I have never used Facebook, so I’m not entirely sure how people use it. BUt if you want to use a ethical platform to organise events, the best option is probably Mobilizon. If it is for general information and entertainment, I recommend Friendica (or Mastodon, which is smoother, but less flexible).

I don’t organise events much, but heard of https://gancio.org/ which is supposed to be much easier to host than Mobilizon. Just throwing in another alternative.

Try Friendica first. If it’s not your cup of tea, here are a few others:

  • Firefish
  • Mastodon
  • Akkoma
  • GNU Social
  • diaspora*
  • Hubzilla

@YugiohMaster88
not at all tbh

when firefish was still calckey, it was a thing > but for a variety of reasons, the project came to a standstill, and two other misskey forks took the lead: iceshrimp and sharkey > as strange as it seems, firefish has already become some kind of legacy ware

moreover, the *keys have federation issues, especially when it comes to lemmy, but kbin is also heavily affected

Good thing you had a choice. Despite me not using it that much, Facebook banned me because it didn’t think I was real.
