We need a new platform before we can #deleteFacebook
- badrequest 9y agoAt some point, people merely adopted these platforms, transitioning from nothing to something. The notion that we can't simply transition from Facebook to nothing is nonsense.
- icu 9y agoCouldn't agree more... it's called keeping in touch with a face to face, a phone call, a letter, an email, a text etc. Your Facebook "friends" who do that are your real friends.
- nugi 9y agoIts called calling, or writing those important to you. This has always existed. Quit trying to app the problem away. Its social, not technical.
- degenerate 9y agoI have a "friend" from university that I occasionally emailed links or articles. Months went by and he never wrote me back, so I questioned him about it and he said "you know I've been busy with the wedding and all". "What wedding?" "Yeah I got married, I guess you don't go on facebook. I don't reply to emails, just facebook me next time." Obviously our friendship fizzled away, and wasn't worth keeping up, but some people only use facebook and won't communicate with people other ways. It's weird.
- kup0 9y agoYeah, sometimes the issue isn't ourselves but those we want to stay connected to and some of them really don't desire to stay connected any other way.
- uieoJIRWE 9y agoNo problem. I found some cool new facebook replacements the other day. 1. IRC 2. Email 3. Forums 4. Blogs 5. RSS
- arisAlexis 9y agofor sure decentralised. I want to be running a node
- zanedb 9y agoI would hope so too, but without _massive_ changes I sincerely doubt the general public would adopt a decentralized social network.
- unstatusthequo 9y agoFacebook free for 6 years and I find no reason to have it. At most when Facebook loyals use it to organize events. And I find it about those through actually seeing people. Plus I love shocking people with "yeah I don't use that crap" to see how they react. Maybe given recent events they will react differently?
