What replaced Facebook?
Not using Facebook.
Ditched
Try WireMin, someone recommended it from another post. Its a decentralized version of FB, people described it as combination of Mastodon + Session.
Decentralized network, So no central server to collect user data, and they can't implement any restriction rules, so 0 banning and censorship
I dont see any source code, so I wouldn't trust it, especially with the fact that you already mentioned two alternatives that are open source, that will fill the gap.
Not being open source is pretty damaging to their user acquisition, I guess. Well it did not ask for my personal info when creating an account, so I trusted it at first.
For now I use both Mastodon and Session, and still kept WireMin on my phone because it combines them both. I look forward to the day when they finally publish their source code.
It's not open source, indeed. But I noticed that the users on WireMin are all very concerned about protecting their privacy. For example there's one community created by one anonymous user: The Gray Papers- Take back your data. https://i.wiremin.com/invite/?g=k48934787653
