By the end of summer 2026, I hope I'll get to delete my #facebook (#meta) account

1. Instead of using #messenger, I'll tell my friends to text me via phone #sms

2. Sell the remaining items that I'm currently selling on #marketplace

Eventually, on the long-term, I'd like to:

1. Setup a #matrix server for everybody to join and replace #discord as well.

2. Find a good replacement to Facebook Marketplace.

@frank great goals. I found getting off facebook much easier than anticipated. Setting up a matrix server was a bit of a hassle, but mostly because you have to ask people to follow you there.

@TimothyRoes Yeah, I think most people are still very much attached to Discord

Since the age verification thing, many people are waking up.

But hopefully, more people break out as more options become better and available.

@frank True, and it's not clear yet Matrix can fill that void. I've been using it mostly as a #Whatsapp replacement

@TimothyRoes

Yeah, but I think it's the best options so far.

Mostly because I think it's the only one that does federation
