Good idea. We can also see which happens first: Facebook fixing its outage, or Facebook buying up that competitor.

Fix the outage, then blatantly copy the competitors' features and force it to their existing user base.

Do you have invites for https://pixelfed.social/ ?

Would love one if someone has them... [email protected]

My self-hosted XMPP-Server seems to work without problems ;-)

Yep. Mine was running happily as well.

There are hundreds of facebook alternatives websites already and dozens of Instagram and Messenger and WhatsApp. I guess tiktok will literally replace Instagram very soon (not because of this outage, but it will help).

Isn't tiktok videos? Of the people who I watch interact with Instagram, easily 90% of their consumption is pictures

Watching even a short video isn't the same experience as rapidly scrolling through a gallery of pictures
