As individuals? If your friends and family all use meta products, are you suggesting to get new friends and family, or to convince them all to use other products?

Yes, you have that choice. Perhaps you decide that the cost of trying to build a social life outside of the "meta monopoly" is too high. But in life you have choices, there are people out there who also want to construct a social fabric outside of Meta.
I didn't ask if you/I have that choice, I asked if you think it reasonable - I think most would consider abandoning family and current friends over the issue is "too high" at least, extreme and immoral at worst.
I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question, I didn't see where it was asking about being reasonable.

I think it is perfectly reasonable to try and convince friends and family that they use other products if you believe that a Meta Monopoly is harmful.
