I know they’re not exactly the same from the few glimpses of Fandom history I’ve seen of LiveJournal, but you seriously didn’t like anything about Pleroma, Frendica, Hubzilla, Diaspora, AND Wafrn? The first 4 are all essentially Facebook clones, although they can be seen as macro-blogging sites too. Wafrn is literally Tumblr, just decentralized.
I would highly recommend giving those a chance rather than clinging to FB, as these friends could totally manage it.
You’re talking on another viable platform right now, plus Mastodon and even Bsky for that matter although given Bsky is centralized ultimately, and also ultimately corporate-ran, who knows when or if they won’t go down the same dark path to ruin as Twitter or Facebook some day.

If I had some other platform that was viable I would not be there. Some of it is beyond my control, but none of those friends use Livejournal anymore.
