There are a lot of startups trying. Hopefully one of them will reach critical mass. I would be happy to leave Facebook but being involved in politics makes it a prerequisite to reach my audience.

I remember back when Facebook was only available to college students. I wonder if any startup would create another 'exclusive' network to increase it's perceived social value

What startups? I've seen a lot of messaging solutions, but not too many full competitors. Maybe I've been a bit blind

Just look up distributed social networks. There are multiple ones with up to 10^7 users.
