What's the point of making _my_ data accessible? AFAIR under GDPR facebook already can provide you all your data in downloadable form, at least if you are in EU.
If we want to break Facebook network effect, you need much more.
I, being early adopter, move to new service, called Bookface, and now I want to talk with my friends, who are still using FB. So I ask Bookface to connect to FB and suck the latest updates about these 1000 people, because they are my friends. Hmmm...

So, you could move to Bookface, and then your friends would have the option to allow Bookface access to their data on your behalf, in so far as they want to allow you to access it, in just the same way they would allow another user on Facebook to access it.
