This sure is a potential solution, and I think “leave FB en masse” is part of the longterm set of tools I want to be considering. But it’s not going to solve the problems of people who are already using Facebook as their de-facto community hub, and I think it’s quite hard to “leave FB” in a way that actually makes your situation net-positive, due to inherent constraints on who-is-likely-to-build-a-good alternative, and how they get funding.
I’m not suggesting “leave FB en mass”. Just that groups switch for meetings where it’s important that these FB tools don’t scramble things, or communities where the problem has gotten really bad.
