This looks more like another instagram clone rather than Facebook. Building a following of strangers rather than a network of people you actually know.

I've yet to see a proper alternative (fediverse or not) to the way Facebook originally helped to keep connected to friends and family. To plan events. To keep your posts only visible to your friends. That's the part that is hard to give up.

(Yes, I know friendica is supposed to be the fediverse answer to that. But it's really not accomplished that yet. It's just a skin over mastodon.)
