  Users need the ability to connect to most other users

  They can leave meta and do that right now.

    Are you sure? How does one connect to users on WhatsApp and Messenger from outside of Meta?

      How does one connect to users on WhatsApp and Messenger from outside of Meta?

      You mail them a fucking letter saying, "Leave meta."

      You call them on the phone and say, "Leave meta."

      You visit them in person and say, "Leave meta."

      Hack into a defunct spy satellite and carve "LEAVE META" in the countryside using its lasers.

      People exist outside of meta. They breath, they eat, they shit. Find that pile of meat that exists outside of zuck's servers and get a message to it.
      Shit, how did people communicate before facebook?

        Depending on how far we go, they’d have a scribe write down what they wanted to say.

        We don’t live in those times anymore, and a good chunk of people would sooner not talk to you, rather than move a finger to change their ways.

        Hence, the network effect.
