I'm as much a google/fb/microsoft "hater" as anybody. I waste countless hours trying to get a linux based workflow that doesn't create huge conflicts with getting my real work done (everyone else at work is on Windows). But despite my idealism, the pragmatic truth in my opinion is that commercial companies offer a product that to the completely none technical user, is FAR better than any "free as in freedom" product. Even looking at the link provided here, I clicked on it and immediately my reaction was "oh another freetard website." Until this kind of stuff has state of the art websites and user friendliness, it won't catch on with people who struggle to turn on a computer. And that happens to be the majority of people. Diaspora? My aunts and uncles would probably think they logged into the dark web when visiting that site (except they don't know what the dark web is).
