  Akkoma: https://akkoma.social/
  Friendica: https://friendi.ca/
  
  With Friendica you can run public and private groups so your meat space friends can converse outside of public view while still participating in public spaces.
  
  If you want really private with direct connections instead of servers, with everything encrypted and hidden from public view see:
  
  Briar: https://briarproject.org/ ... (desktop and android)
  RetroShare: https://retroshare.cc/ ... (desktop and android)
  
  If you want private only with the option to federate, you might prefer something XMPP-based:
  
  Movim: https://movim.eu/
  
  You can also set up a bulletin board or image board and require authentication to view the site.

    Akkoma dropped support for chats, which sucks tennis balls.

    The others are too technical for many of the people I know. They just want something like Facebook, but that I host myself. Not the “every device is its own node” type of deal.

    And connection to the fediverse definitely isn’t a necessity.

    All by all Friendica looks the most promising.

  Friendica should fit the bill right there for you. Or if you don't want ActivityPub, check out diaspora*. There's also Hubzilla which uses AP as well, but internally it uses its own Zot protocol.

    I was looking into Friendica, and it also looks promising. But the lack of an ios app may be a dealbreaker for some of my friends.

    Diaspora has the same issue, although the integration with other social media is interesting.

    Huzilla is a bit more for filesharing, isn’t it?

    All in all, I think Friendica is indeed one of the better bets.

  How did this specifically make it worse? They didn’t follow the GDPR before so choosing free is the exact same as before.

  This is just their latest attempt at avoiding the GDPR and last I checked taking payment for not tracking someone is a grey zone in the GDPR. After looking at the law it shouldn’t be allowed but it might be. Who knows. Other sites do it as well.

  If anything this has bought them time.

    Because I was willing to pay, but not for the exuberant amount they ask.

    It also made it worse in the sense that now friends were discussing it on their own, which did not happen before.

  Mastodon?

    Sadly no groupchat features.

    Otherwise, solid choice!
