ങ്ങേ? സമ്മതിച്ചോ?
if cost of leaving is so high that there is no choice than continuing, how
can they try switching (to bring down the cost of leaving?)

I switched (day before yesterday) to diaspora only because it automatically
posts to facebook, and so I'm not losing anything. But I want to comment on
"kiss of love", etc in public such that people see it. If I delete my
facebook account today, how will people hear my ideas?
I just had a google hangout for organizing an important event on Sunday.

There are some things that philosophy can't buy. For everything else, there
is open source.

But I told Praveen myself in a chat one day. It would be very nice if
people who know the importance of open source, privacy-aware tools can use
those whenever possible. Like say, post tech related posts on diaspora,
send geeky emails via autistici, etc.
