I was thinking something along similar lines. It's not like I brought my friends to Facebook in the first place - we all just ended up there. Even worse, so did my parents and their friends. If I had brought them to Facebook in the first place, that'd be one thing, but it is so big it has it's own pull, and honestly I don't think I can compete with that. What's more is I don't want to - if I have to hard sell someone on switching to Slack, for example, I'm now the Slack expert to them forever. The shame of it is that the alternative is miss stuff, and who wants to do that? I would rather deal with a shitty Facebook app on my phone that I can force quit when I'm done with it than feel like a self-exiled citizen of my own community. It's defeatist, but whatever - humans are social creatures for the most part, and I don't want to separate from the herd over something stupid like an app on my phone.
