Entrenched in what? What's the compelling reason not to just walk away from your Facebook account? The scrabble game you're right in the middle of? Photo metadata? Messages about important parties?

Try just quitting Facebook cold-turkey. You'd be surprised how easy it is, and you just might like it.

I quit long ago. Unfortunately, you're missing the point that Facebook's entrenched power comes from a vast population of folks that enjoy it. To them, Facebook is the internet.

Photo metadata? Messages about important parties? Yes.

I can obviously quit fb easily, but I would miss it. And it would make no sense for me to join a different network instead, where my friends aren't (or only a fraction of them are).
