Me and a friend tried getting one of our chat groups to migrate to a different platform, mentioning the ethnic cleansings that have been facilitated on the platform, but a couple of the people are huge libs and didn't respond. :doomjak:
Keep using your new platform. When the incumbent platform falls or goes too far for even the libs to tolerate people will switch to whatever has the least friction and most name awareness. This is how shit platforms become monoliths in the first place, noone is sitting down and analyzing the options they are going with whatever the first thing a friend suggests or they vaguely remember hearing about and then being weirdly loyal to that platform forever.
Of the tech giants, maybe one of the most surprising one that people invested heavily into. Like their maintained success is a complete anomaly in social media, and largely dependent on them buying the next big thing. The other tech giants (maybe netflix excluded) are in businesses where it's tough to start a competitor and the user base isn't particularly fickle, they also have massive government contractors. Besides the immediate returns on investment, how did people thing facebook would have similar staying power?
But web 3!
Fb is basically a forum for me. No one i actually knows uses it still. I'm just using it like i used forums in the early aughts

Just start talking on the other one. ‘Oh, sorry, we arranged that over on Signal/Telegram/Bebo’.

I’m so happy I got my friends to switch to Discord, I haven’t had a Facebook account at all in like 3 years

Facebook has owned Oculus for a while though. The bought their way into a fledgling industry before it was popular in order to dominate it.
