The problem here is, of course, mostly social, not technical.

It is similar to the "Year of the Linux Desktop" that never actually comes. There might be some tiny element that Linux is somehow technically "inferior" or "more difficult" than M$, but the real reason Windows maintains its position is the various forms of lock in they have. But a laptop and Windows is already on it. Windows is used at work. You have 10 years of Word documents. Etc. etc. etc.

Even more so with social media. As long as her friends and family are on FB, my SO will be on FB. She already knows Zuck is a Nazi, but every week has her FB Messenger session with her sisters, buys and sells her hobby stuff on FB marketplace, scrolls Reels constantly.

I assume that FB will collapse suddenly when some other massive tech company sets up a similar one stop service that is non-Nazi and everyone jumps at once. Frankly, I think this is a huge opportunity for Apple, but I digress.

But whatever it is, surely FB (and Xhitter) will collapse suddenly when they reach some kind of Malcolm Gladwell type tipping point when "everyone" decides that "everyone" is "over there" now.
