I would be very interested to hear what alternatives there are to various social media networks that are specifically Free/Libre software based. I'd also be especially interested in what alternatives work well with low resource or older hardware. Many of the newer social media systems require the latest and greatest browsers or other software that's complicated to build and isn't always available for older systems. Forums like the Puppy Linux forum try very hard to support older and low resource computers. Are there other good examples of this sort of thing? With the recent issues with Yahoo Groups, I investigated what free mailing list alternatives were still available. I ran across a few options like https://framalistes.org/sympa/ but I really could not find a lot of options even when I looked at non-Free alternatives in this area. Has anyone put together a list of FLOSS options for social media sites and Internet methods of connecting with each other (whether they're web 2.0 based or earlier concepts)? I'd appreciate hearing any suggestions for FLOSS options for social media or suggestions for resources where you could look up FLOSS options. Thanks. _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
