Thanks:) I really feel like this is the core issue here. People complain a lot about Facebook, but what would happen if by some heroic, Odyssey-worthy effort they actually get people to switch to some other social network?<p>. . .<p>The exact same thing. The exact same thing would happen, because the new social network would have _exactly the same incentives_ as facebook.<p>I have some more thoughts on this here: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;housejeffries.com&#x2F;page&#x2F;3" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;housejeffries.com&#x2F;page&#x2F;3</a> Not sure how clear my writing is, but the &quot;Inspiration&quot; section at the end has some links to great projects trying to fix this problem.
