That may be, but they have 100’s of millions of users, and most of them will never entertain an alternative until [insert world-breaking issue/event here].

Maybe it's OK though. The big majority usually follows what is default, and then you have a minority doing something different. Linux users are like 1% and it's still enough for the community to thrive and enjoy themselves a lot. It's probably the same here, that once we reach enough users to keep things interesting, we don't actually need more users. :)

@smartwater0897 @dukethorion Exactly. FB corrals a big chunk of the low-effort people into one place who would otherwise ruin great communities.
