Great thread, although I tbh don't even want alternatives for most of them.

Lemmy, sure.

Discord, would be nice but until I get my friends and servers to move to something else, not gonna work.

Facebook, I don't ever want to use anything like it even if it was open source.

Mastodon, I don't want to use it despite being fedoverse cause it tries to be like Twitter and I hate Twitter.

Pixelfed, I don't really want to use anything like instagram and even if I did, not relevant until people I want to follow use it since I wouldn't post myself.

Tictoc, I would rather scoop of my eyeballs with rusty spoon than use it, no matter if it would be federalized.

Others not mentioned I don't care enough to know how they work. Still, I support the sentiment of making fedoverse alternatives for things, although I personally only need lemmy and discord to get my dopamine fix.
