There is a very strong push right now in my community on Facebook, which is where most of the community "discussion" happens.. for alternatives to Facebook.
Are you seeing this or hearing about it second-hand like me?
This is the first time I've seen or heard of a real push out of Facebook since the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
What's the go-to alternative on the Fediverse, or will it be a mixture?

One thing people might want to keep in mind when others tell them that Mastodon is "too confusing" is that I am seeing literally _fleets_ of people trying to leave Facebook saying _BlueSky_ is too confusing for them, and being utterly unable to find other BlueSky users despite knowing the usernames of the people they're trying to find.
I do not understand this and I do not want to be judgmental, I am simply presenting this "holy shit" fact.
Giving a URL to a profile and saying "click on the Follow button" seems to be helpful, but I'm trying to find out if that works properly if a person's only real way of using the web is through phone apps.

@ianhillmedia I feel like #Facebook is ready to collapse under it's own weight, and all we need is a reasonable substitute. It'll cave in just like #Blockbuster did under #Netlix. Or just like #MySpace did under Facebook. I just don't know if #Mastodon is the thing, and I haven't looked at the #Fediverse at large enough to know if there's something there to do it.
