    It’s funny — people are saying so much about the #indieweb/federated social web not being a “Facebook Killer”, and yet it’s killed my usage of FB beyond occasional passive consumption. So, implementors: build stuff which kills your own FB usage before trying to kill facebook.

    I’ve totally noticed this effect myself in the past several months.

    And it’s wonderful!

    Just a week or so ago, there was some excellent discussion on the IW chat that related to your idea that I thought was so interesting that I bookmarked it. You can read the conversation here, https://chat.indieweb.org/2017-11-17#t1510953115033000

    In particular Barnaby's quote and Tantek's extension may be the germ of the idea for what you replace social media with in your analogy: https://waterpigs.co.uk/notes/1480/
