I've been looking for an alternative to Facebook that I could recommend to non-tech-savvy relatives, but I haven't been coming up with many compelling options. I posted on DailyKos ("Alternatives to the 'F-word'?"), but it seems that BlueSky was the only popular option (which is really designed to be an alternative to Twitter rather than Facebook). Do y'all think that BlueSky will become a bona fide alternative to Facebook before the mainstream public gets religion regarding the Fediverse?
