It is good that there are teeny tiny alternatives to facebook that are like buzzing gnats to it, but the real crises is the fact that it is *THE* place where the general public gathers.

It does no good to reach out to a tiny audience when the vast majority of people are at the normal public gathering place. The people who need to hear you won't hear you.

This is why Facebook and other silicon valley tech dictatorships needs to be broken. We cannot allow freedom of speech to be controlled by tech giants. They are already doing whatever China tells them to do, and we have now effectively government censorship of speech by China through the backdoor of "private" companies doing their bidding.

It will always be thus so long as private companies are allowed to censor speech.

Well, when I signed up for usa.life, I was amazed how many of my Facebook friends had already opened accounts and had yet to promote it. It has to start somewhere. Thanks, though for your cynicism.
