If you communicate and collaborate with people you already know, you have formed a social network... It's hard enough to get people in your network to switch to a _polished_ platform (like Telegram), let alone a mess like this one.

Sure, definition of "social network" is vague enough to allow for semantic massaging into any form anyone wants. The point is that this is not a necessarily a tool to keep up with your social network, but rather a work/collaboration tool. And there is very little competition among those. I don't need to keep up with my "friends" and their statuses/photos/events/feeds, or "IM" back and forth with someone using cutesy emojis. I need to be able to hold conference calls with presentations displayed to all participants, or shared whiteboard to discuss some design. Stuff like that. And I want to be able to host all this outside of dirty paws of third party corporations and governments. I'm of course disregarding the abysmal quality and stability of Ring, so all this is just academic anyway. :)
