I just wonder how many people here *actually use* alternative social networks? Like, daily.
And how many are determined to use Facebook to the end of their days, cause they like challenges? :D
I've just seached "Diaspora" (that's the one I use), and found about 20 posts here. Most are quite old.
A quick Reddit search for D* (insert your alternative here) will most likely show comments "it's dead, it's old-fashioned, no one uses it".
But how are these "alternatives" ever going to grow, if you do not support them, and still choose FB?
By support I don't necessarily mean donations or code contributions. Being an active user is a lot.
Some could say 'all my friends won't switch to _' (enter your alternative here).
But you like challenges, right? :D
I've been reading Slashdot for a while now, never commenting. But comments are actually the part I like most. Which means, people here are the most valuable part of the platform. Not shiny UX. Not millions of features.
It's a shout out in the dark. I just hate seeing statistics of billions active users (FB) vs several thousands (D*).
