There are plenty of social media alternatives to Facebook and Twitter. The thing is, the company with the biggest market share usually sucks all the oxygen out of the room.
Google, Facebook and Twitter are essentially monopolies who then use monopoly power to crush other competitor's or prevent them from gaining any traction.
Given their blatant intervention in the US and other elections, governments have no alternative but to take strong action against them. The AT&T or Standard Oil solution may be best. Fine them huge amounts for anti trust violations then split each of them into 7 different companies with harsh regulatory regimens.

They deleted the same American Thinker article on my account today too. I am also royally pissed.

Why would anyone want to have anything to do with Facebook to begin with?

I’m getting turned off to their behavior, I’m just not participating as much.

Yup. My wife had an account for about three days and was shocked at all the stupid crap posted there. Cats getting lost and other dopey, mindless garbage.

Every log in makes them richer and stronger.
Good for you for finally abandoning Fecebook.
All right thinking people should.

They are starting to pop up. Roxycast.com, Orbys.net, just to name a couple. Conservatives need to find a good one, migrate to it enmasse, and leave Farcebook in the dust. If it wasn’t for a weather group I manage on FB, I would have left by now too.

Facebook is not censoring you.
People who work at facebook are censoring you.
Those people have names & addresses.
Just say’n...

One needs to get churches and businesses off Facebook as well.

I haven’t been on Facebook now for about 6 weeks. Too much politics crap & lies from people that think they had to tell everyone why they were so woke.
Aside from a few professional forums that i had enjoyed, i really don’t miss it much. And i’m not likely to go back. At least , not anytime soon. Their loss, because just like cable tv, or Netflix, or espn, i find other things more personal and relavant to my everyday enjoyment.

I just bought a Oculus Quest 2. Oculus is owned by Facebook. You must now have a Facebook account in order to use new Oculus products. I was forced to establish a Facebook account in order to be able to use my Quest 2. BTW, a Quest is a virtual reality headset.

Friendster and Myspace came before Facebook. Murdoch even bought Myspace. Not quite sure how Myspace manages to lose out to Facebook like that.
Be that as it may, Facebook and Twitter need to be broken up for blatantly interfering in the elections for starters.

I stopped using it years ago. Why should I “contribute content”?
