#13Wouldn't it be better to import the data into an open social network like Mastodon? What would be great is a tool that continuously does this (i.e. a one-way sync). This could help people convert away from FB.
What I find confusing about Mastodon is that there seem to be so many mastodons, is there a main mastodon that links to the others?

#14I once created https://github.com/FabianBeiner/Bela-Facebook-Archive-Theme, but I don't know if this one still works with the current version of the exports. But basically, you can just beautify the pretty decent export of Facebook with some CSS and remove the parts you don't want.

#15When you ask Facebook for your archive it's already pure HTML. All you need to do is to censor it somewhat (if appropriate, e.g. remove private messages) and host it somewhere with access control.
You also need to remove the Facebook tracking pixels they have embedded in it.

@yotapan they all sync, so it doesn't matter which one you are on (if I'm not mistaken that's the beauty of it)

Mastodon is just twitter. I'm on it... unless I'm missing something.
It doesn't completely replace it at all and missing a lot of functionalities that FB have. The ones being, chat room, event invitation/planing, birthday reminder, photo albums, group, etc...

For a moment I was briefly surprised, but then I remembered the company in question. No way that was accidental.
