If we're strictly speaking about "Meta alternatives" that means we're looking specifically for replacements for Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and Threads. "Just don't have Facebook", Signal, Pixelfed and Mastodon/Bluesky are direct replacements for those. Lemmy is a Reddit replacement which doesn't have anything to do with Mark "I am actually a lizard" Zuckerberg.
I mean come on, we've got weird uncles with questionable perspectives.
