Yes, because it’s so easy to get people to switch to a different service!

I tried to get my friends to move from Facebook to Diaspora. How many of them did? ZERO. Not even the ones who like to talk about how much they hate Facebook.

Look what it took to peel off users from Twitter! The last straw had to be Elon getting a dictator elected. And even then, it’s only a fraction of users.

The functions I use Facebook for are only valid if it’s full of the majority of mankind.

Dating, and finding cheap used shit to buy in a parking lot.

That’s true for any social network. It’s only useful if a lot of people are using it, but a lot of people won’t use it until it becomes useful. That’s the catch-22 that keeps new social networks from getting off the ground.

Facebook is really nothing without people, opinions, think groups, pacs, and assholes all fighting for attention. That is Facebook.

Once you boil it down to that, it kinda makes you wonder why on earth would want to make another one to start with rather than remove the entire concept from existence.
