I don't know about others, but I don't care if my social media platform is centralized or not. I use FB mainly as news feed(I don't even get that many friends' posts), but I can easily migrate that. What I need is nothing more that somehow fancy address book. FB gives me a way to contact people I don't keep strong relationships with, it lets me organize an event with those people relatively pain-free and it allows me to keep at least a bit in touch. That's all. Give me just those basic features, pour some serious privacy management over that and I will be happy to lead the way switching. I don't care about fancy tech in this case.

> I use FB mainly as news feed How did you manage to do that? My feed it full of crap like: Silly memes in local languages, Weird shared videos of something cute or funny, Ads, Game invites, Photos from people I don't really know... I basically only have facebook to kinda keep the contact data of old school friends. I don't even talk to them. (And for dating. Contacting people unsolicitedly but still in a friendly and respectful way works much better than going on online dating sites...)

  If you join FB groups related to things that you care about, then there is a good chance you will see more news related to the things you care about too.
