   Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.

   A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."

   People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.

   Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.

     @hhardy01 Very well put! It disgusts me to no end when I click on a link to a local business and it takes me to a goddamned Facebook page. Build your own damned website already!

     @crosswalk They did create something that wasn't there before.

     The statement is that we shouldn't be trying to create that again, if we're trying to move on from it.

     Just because you don't like Facebook doesn't mean it didn't create something which wasn't there before.
