Can anyone name 3 alternatives and the strategy to get people to quit FB and sign up for something new?


Alternatives to what? What need does Facebook actually fulfill in your life?

I quit Facebook a few years back. I didn't replace it with something new. I simply quit. I don't share my life online. I just live it.


Guess you filter through a lot of email or don't engage online with friends and family. Also, people actively use FB for events and groups. Do you not follow any local events?


True. I don't engage much online with friends or family. Or even via email. We mostly call and text, or we actually are together face to face. Likewise with local events - people talk about them in real life and we attend when we want to.


Naming alternatives is easy: friendica and red#matrix

A strategy to get people off FB ans sign up for something new? Almost impossible.
