Friendica revisited 2025

https://friendica.world/display/...

Well, I learned one risk shared by both federated and non-federated platforms. Just as your account and its history can disappear on the likes of Facebook or Twitter, I was shocked to learn that my account on the Friendica instance at venera.social was deleted by its administrator without any individual notice to me. (Thankfully I didn't lose much posting history.) But a hard lesson all the same.

So, I am now trepidatiously re-creating a Friendica profile at friendica.world. (I'll have to investigate how to make backups so that my history doesn't vanish unexpectedly.)

Disappointing to learn that the likes of Facebook Connector script is no longer available (loss of API support). Ditto for the likes of Twitter and Instagram, too. But thankfully one can add individual WordPress accounts/sites to your contact list and be notified of new posts.

I'm still learning how Friendica works. I consider myself tech savvy yet there is some learning curve. Not surprised it has no mass appeal.

One thing that I would like to discover is how I could connect my Threads contacts (those who've turn on its federated/Activity Pub setting). It would be neat to come to friendica.world and follow and comment on connected Threads contacts.
