Social apps are not about software features. The entire value of facebook comes from the fact that everybody else uses it.

If you want people to use alternative to already existing first then the alternative should have similar+ better features.

And friendica has good people base only it lacks media coverage. And my whole point was that Diaspora did nothing but got wide media coverage and people got dissatisfied but friendica has deadly feature but no media coverage

That's not completely true. If it were true, nobody would use facebook because everybody already has email.
