That is precisely why I wrote about getting people off the proprietary social networks. It can be fun, you do it in groups, you can have tiered activities (e.g.: tier 1. set-up a Diaspora account; tier 2. close your FB account; tier 3. set-up your own Diaspora server), and it would be possible to build momentum around it. And this could be a "ateway drug" to freedom, as people already interested in leaving the failbooks could be exposed to message about the rest of the FaiF ecosystem. -- Pozdrawiam Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Fundacja Wolnego i Otwartego Oprogramowania
