What? Each slack workspace is entirely different. You can't just add someone on Slack!
"Hey friend, I'm getting off Facebook, What's a Slack workspace you're in? I'll send you messages that way .."
...you delete your facebook and never talk to this friend ever again.
It's not that there aren't alternatives. It's that people don't use them. It's not like back when everyone had AIM, Yahoo and MSN and you could add people on all three and group them together in Audium/Pidgin/Trillian. Facebook has literally bought most of the competitors (Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.)

They do if they value the relationship. I left Facebook almost 10 years ago, and the people on Facebook that I had actual, valuable relationships with had no problem continuing to communicate with me though alternate means.
