I should take a look at Mastodon one day. However, all of this talk of having to maintain your own instance and my very bad experience when looking at Google Plus (the most inaccessible social network ever put out by a large corporation) kind of myke me weary I am wasting my time. Besides, I mostly use FB as an event calendar. As long as someone doesn't mirror all the events announced in my area, I will likely not use it on a regular basis.
