I know a lot of people who want to quit Facebook, but nobody wants to be the odd one out who misses event invitations and stuff because they're the one person in their social circle who doesn't have an account. To partially solve this, I've been talking to a group of friends about all forming a pact to quit Facebook at the same time. This idea seems to resonate, and I've already gotten about ten of my friends to agree to it.
It's frustrating to know that despite how bad they are, despite every new discovery of terribleness, nothing's going to change, and they're just going to get bigger.
Plenty of other social networks that once seemed dominant have collapsed in the past. I agree it feels frustrating, but if a large enough minority of users abandons Facebook I do think that we could hit critical mass where even people on FB start using alternative communication tools to keep in touch with ex-Facebookers, and then that'll start creating a positive feedback loop by making it easier for more people to leave as other platforms fill in and pick up the slack.
