FakeBook is like the Hotel California. You can check out any time you want but you can never leave.

We need one of the (many) talented folks out there to write new lyrics to “Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover” a la “Fifty Ways to Leave the Facedorks”.

FB is for sharing German Shepherds pics and funny stories. Period.

Hmm, so you have to go to a third company and give them your info and they’ll take down your fb? No thanks.

You are being tracked even when you are not on Facebook. They are affiliated with other sites. Amazon recently patented software they will use with their Ring camera and Rekognition facial software. The cameras will scan everyone and report to the police. It is not perfect so expect the police to raid your home or arrest you at work.

Also you would could be banned from posting at sites as you are tied in to other sites say like Brietbart so they know you are a troublemaker in their opinion.

Try getting a loan, go to school, get a job when your “record” is available from Facebook and Amazon etc.
Maybe even a plane ticket as you are a “suspect”.

I never got into Facebook--had personal and company accounts. Tried keeping personal and business separate, but they kept wanting to connect. I think I've closed all down. Challenge are other sites that want you to log in via Facebook. I end of skipping them, probably no big loss.

I have a twitter account, but only use it to read what President Trump posts.

I trashed my ‘so called’ FB account after I answered a letter to the editor of a local online newspaper and laid out the idiot I was addressing.
Not that I really care BUT next day I checked out my FB page and there was my answer...Did not appreciate that so I cancelled whole program.

Went back at a later date and logged in with NO INFO and used a @yahoo.com address which I have cancelled ... BUT... If I go to FB now that old address shows up but I can ‘check out what I want’ and leave with (probably) no or very little footprint.

I probably have about ‘500’ or so ‘prospective friends’ or whatever they call themselves so I guess the name of the game for social status today is to be able to brag about how many ‘friends’ one has on FB or twit or twat or whatever it is called.

MeWe is an alternative to Facebook. No ads, no user tracking, easier interface. No censors. Occasional nudity in some certain groups.

I’ve been there for a few days and it seems to be okay. There’s a few interesting groups.

I quit facebook over 1 week ago.

I quit because I got another ban for doing what liberals do to me...and they are dont’ get banned. Like if someone calls me an idiot...i’ll do the same back. And then wammo I’m banned and they aren’t.

The hard part is FB is how many of my extended friends (people I knew over my lifetime keep in touch with me). Oh well I guess. I’m trying to get reddit to fill the void of getting interesting and funny info (in other words time wasting). But it is still a struggle.

Also some services allow for easy logon when you logon via facebook...that’s a challenge too.

Need conservative alternatives to all of these lefty run monopolies (and a active boycott of their un-american activities)

Its NOT rocket science any more and just needs sufficient effort (a great business opportunity)

You just slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

Just get yourself free

Hop on the bus, Gus

You don't need to discuss much

Just drop off the key, Lee

And get yourself free

The key is to refrain from posting anything on Facebook that one would not want a spouse to see.

I'm in FB timeout right now because I mentioned that Moochelle had to go to the dog groomer before she was able to wear the yellow bed sheet the MSM has been recently pushing around as a fashion statement and put a picture of a “wookie” for reference. FB called it “hate speech” while allowing comments about Melania go unchecked. FB bias is overt and in your face.
