Mastodon is doing very well in getting adoption - mostly from tech folks, but maybe/probably they'll pull people with them.

Facebook users in general seem a lot less tech oriented, so the initial push could be less.

Diaspora seems like a very well built-out alternative to Facebook in terms of features and speed (speed&cleanliness are much better). However the network effect is of course a thing. Maybe when Diaspora gets connected to the Fediverse via ActivityPub the Fediverse enthusiasts will tell their parents and grandparents to move over.
