My official departure date from FB is May 1st (after ‘jail’ I’ve been disconnected for >2 months; time flies when you’re doing productive things).
I recommend that others do the same.
I have wanted to, but the fact is, it keeps me in contact with my family and friends. Far more contact than I would normally have.
Sure, there's MeWe, and I do have an account there, but my friends and family aren't on MeWe, despite my urgings to get them on there. You see, there are several problems to moving to another platform:
1. The fight isn't on other platforms. The fight is on farcebook. Everywhere else, you're just preaching to the choir. Sure, you might get jail from time to time, but no use running from where the real fight is.
2. My friends and family are on farcebook. Their friends and family aren't on other platforms, they are on farcebook, and so on. Getting people to switch isn't easy, either. They don't want to have to remember their passwords for six different social platforms. While I respect Trump's vision with a new platform, I fear it will be relegated to just Conservatives preaching to the choir. More of a novelty platform, if you will.
The real fight is on farcebook. The real solution is getting rid of platform protections. Farcebook is protected too heavily as a platform. But with censoring and banning people, they are clearly far more than a platform.
