I think your examples could be simplified:

    export default function getUsers () {
      return getUsersFromDB()
      .then(filterUsersWithFriends)
      .then(getUsersLikes);
    }

And there's just about never a reason to use the `Promise` constructor in real world code. If you already have a promise as in your example, so you can rewrite your refactoring as:

    export default function getUsers () {
      return getUsersFromDB()
        .then(users => filterUsersWithFriends(users).catch(err => trySomethingElse(users)));
    }
