> Facebook replacement: Friendica
... it's really not fair to Friendica to keep making this comparison. Neither the feature set nor the UI of Friendica are anything like modern FB, so calling it a FB replacement just sets people up for disappointment and poor first impressions. IMHO We don't yet have a complete, federated replaced for FB and it's better to just be honest about that.
I agree here, we need to be careful with wording.
Rather than saying Friendica is a facebook replacement, we should perhaps think about the services within facebook it does or can replace and promote that.
Of course a lot of people would leave facebook, only they are unable to as they are in touch with people on there who also won't leave due to specific groups or friends.
