I completely get your perspective but you also made my point for me. I'm not looking to promote any social network or philosophy. I'm simply looking for a modern tool with which I can contact my friends and family that live in different states and countries in an efficient way. That's it. And I'd bet this is also the case for a majority of people. I get that if you want to start a niche community or small groups for special interests, there are tons of other ways to organize. For example, Discord for gaming. But at the end of the day, even those who use Discord a lot and are heavily involved in gaming communities will still have a Facebook so they can connect with the random person they just met at a party, or send photos to their grandma.
