Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.

A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."

People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.

Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.

@hhardy01 I didn’t talk to my IRL friends on Facebook. We sometimes used LiveJournal to keep up with each other, but nowadays I’d rather call them. The web has never been a good place for IRL friends... I mean, I have made friends this way that became IRL friends, but then we just called each other 😄
