The only way to fight them is, to stop using them. Believe it or not, you will survive without Facebook, Twitter, and other liberal, social, media.

Get a hobby, do something constructive with your time and effort.

The number of “likes” you get determines neither your popularity, nor your self-worth.

A like is merely a “go along to get along” statement.

During my time on Facebook, I rarely, really “liked” a post, most of a time it was just to support a friend to let them know I was there, and I had seen their post.

“Likes” are beginning to be like addictive drugs to some people, who seem to base their life on them.

I say, “Phooey”, there are a lot more things to do in life besides vegetate behind a computer screen...except for FR, of course.

People seem to fail to realize that PragerU is not trying to preach to the choir, but convert those on the left. By banning or restricting content, YouTube is undermining that goal.

I am surviving, I never was 'that social' (or is it socialist?) to begin with. Have never belonged to any of them and have not felt the loss in any way!

I closed my Facebook account a few months ago. It just prompts me to do some errand or hobby rather than spend time on Facebook. For close family and friends we do group texts when travelling or doing something fun. I rode my bicycle on some of the famous surf spots in So Cal yesterday and showed the family what the adventure looked like via text. Good fun.

Even better, never use them to start with.

If a conservative with the right knowledge decided to start a conservative version of Facebook and Twitter and left off all the tracking, spying, etc., I'd be willing to pay for the service.

Especially considering it would be a private enterprise it would have the ability to filter leftist views.
