On a different platform I’ve just been presented with an ad for Monnet.social. The website doesn’t give away much info so to me it looks like it’s meant to become something like a European Bluesky or Facebook. No mention of not being a silo. 🥱

@Sylkeweb Testing The Fediverse To be fair, "European Facebook" already exists. And it has been around for longer than Mastodon.

Friendica was created by an American living in Australia, but it's maintained by two Germans. Hubzilla was created (actually forked) by the same guy, and now it's maintained by a German and a Norwegian.

Both are part of the Fediverse. Friendica connects to Mastodon and everything else in the Fediverse, and Hubzilla can optionally do that, too.

None of them is an all-out, 1:1 clone of Facebook, though. Instead, both are better than Facebook.
