I think that list really shows how strong Facebook is.

Twitter? That's even less private than fb. Reddit? Seriously, you want me to post my wedding pictures on Reddit?

And for events, who is going to invite friends and family to their birthday via Eventbrite? Doodle? It's not like we need to settle on a date for my birthday.

I guess you could start your own private subreddit and invite all your friends?

Though of course, I'd imagine all your friends would tell you to fuck right off.

yeah... it's like, "does facebook smell bad? try this other shit."

Diaspora is a great platform. (Mastodon also replaces Twitter very well)

From what I've experienced so far the federated platforms are very, very strong.
