Re: Mozilla: "We’re taking a break from Facebook"

[psutton]

My counter argument to the only 'place to find everyone' is to join
Diaspora etc anyway,  tell  people know, you are on there,  it lessens
the argument   small steps,   that is all it generally takes.   Once you
are on these other networks people have a reason to join,  and hopefully
eventually move from the closed networks.
