• Facebook Groups alternatives?

  You might want to look into some of the Facebook-like open-source social networking programs like Friendica, Hubzilla, Libervia, or GNU Social. Source: 7 months ago

• We need a Facebook groups style decentralized alternative. Does one exist?

  I think that Friendi.ca is the fediverse equivalent of FB, in the same way that Mastodon is to twitter. https://friendi.ca. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for a “news aggregater”.

  In addition to what has been said, you can also use Friendica, another great decentralized alternative (server list). It supports RSS, along with being a regular social network. Source: about 1 year ago

• 📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️

  Facebook being whatever it is would be friendi.ca. Source: about 1 year ago

• Open Source Social Network php based social networking software

  Given the similarity to FB, what's the advantage over Friendica or Hubzilla? Both support federation with other servers and can be run as a closed community too. Source: about 1 year ago

• How does this sub feel about remote work?

  Middle managers not adapting. When my old job when remote for Covid, my manager would hold telecons, despite having access to videoconference software with the capability to document and screen share (IT setup BigBlueButton ). He would talk to slides we couldn't see, and we were lucky if he sent them out in email before hand. Source: about 1 year ago

• IMPORTANT: It looks like the schools are turning into a warzone and too dangerous for children. People are hoping to shift education online (avoiding the regime platforms). We are looking for something like a persian Khan Academy. If you know any platforms or ideas about this please comment here.

  Https://bigbluebutton.org/ is a free and open source classroom software. I would stick to indiependent and free software in your situation. Source: over 1 year ago

• Web based Video/audio chat solution with high quality single presenter video?

  I haven't used it to stream movies, but I use BigBlueButton fairly regularly for video/voice calls. Source: over 1 year ago

• Germany Forces a Microsoft 365 Ban Due to Privacy Concerns

  Big Blue Button (https://bigbluebutton.org) is one. We actually used it at work for meetings but it seems they have since pivoted to be for more virtual classroom. I agree though, even that would need decent IT talent to setup and maintain. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Does anyone know a self-hosted alternative to Teams?

  You could try these self-hosted solutions: TrueConf, Jitsi or BigBlueButton. The choice generally depends on your needs and company budget. Source: about 2 years ago
