“Today, I submitted my resignation to Facebook”
The problem with being a Facebook-user is quitting it while trying to keep in touch with your friends. Presently, this only works if Facebook itself would fail.<p>I believe if it were still possible to keep in touch with Facebook friends and content without being a Facebook-user yourself, we can subvert the <i>Network Effect</i>, which in the first place is what Facebook owes its dominance to.<p>A solution may be to force social media companies by law to adhere to a standard on information exchange, much like e-mail and http protocols.<p>If there is such a thing as "OpenBook" and it still allows me to communicate, comment, view and react to FB-content, I'd ditch FB in an instant.
