gollark: It mostly doesn't happen unless the existing stuff is also very bad. I suspect it's also easier for somewhat purpose-specific instant messaging than for general social network stuff because the group which has to move with you is smaller and you don't have to migrate giant friend lists or something.
gollark: Even if better services *do* exist, people generally don't move to something they don't have stuff/people they know on.
gollark: Generally it requires the existing service to be really bad before people start moving.
gollark: Yes, privacy-focused stuff often lacks features. But even if someone came up with "Facebook but significantly better somehow", network effects mean adoption would be very slow.
gollark: Discord isn't ideal, but at least they seem to have a mostly non-data-harvesting business model and somewhat better privacy policy.
