F/B has too many users to give a $hit.

Its working folks, just like what we have done to the NFL,NBA, and many corporations and businesses that support and contribute to BLM. This is a great way for those who are not able or physically unable to help the cause. Use the ower of the purse, BOYCOTT

Thanks to you too! It’s been a long hard slog but very worth it. I also have to give credit to my ability of exposing the truth to my long time on FR and all the articles and helpful comments by fellow Freepers over the years.

I just got through shoving a lot of truth, regarding the involvement of not only the Biden’s but Kerry, Pelosi and Romney’s connection with Burisma, down some jerk’s throat that insulted a friend of mine. His coyote stupid comment was referring to John Kerry and his comment was “why would someone worth 500 million get involved with a corrupt business deal?”. Then he insulted my friend like she was stupid for putting the information of Kerry’s corruption out there. He now has a second one.

It is harder to find the articles I need to back things up because Google is putting all this Snopes crap up front calling ‘false information’ on everything. Good thing I remember what I have been reading for all these years because I have to go back pages to find stuff they are trying to bury.

It’s not for everybody and if someone wants to defriend me my attitude is “good riddance” and I really don’t care who it is.

I haven’t been banned but I am having posts with articles removed about Hunter Biden diddling underage children like his niece because it ‘goes against their community standards’. So now I just tell people what I have read and tell them if I post the link it will be removed. I then give them the source to go to for themselves. This seems to be working to get around it because FB had been fixing some of my post where no one could see them but me. So corrupt.

I will probably be dropping my Farcebook account here soon. I'm tired of the censorship and the only thing I get on there for now is to post the weather forecasts.

I'm still looking for a viable replacement. I am on Parler and like it immensely. I'm on Orby's and Roxycast, but neither are remotely as popular. Probably gonna recheck Mewe and Spreely soon, see how they are going.

Any further suggestions?????

Well, I disengaged about two weeks ago. It’s been tough. I tried not doing anything but lurking for about 45 days during the summer, but blocking my post of the N.Y. Post story about the Bidens, and their throttling of other posts on other topics did it for me. I’m just waiting for the thirty-day period on my account closure to expire. Cold turkey is best, but it’s been a bad habit to break.

Others have said something like this, but I will say it anyway:

I’m SORRY I WAS NEVER A FACEBOOD USER, SO THAT I COULD LEAVE THEM WITH SOME TASTY REMARKS.

Oppressors of the people: google, facebook, twitter.

Never joined and I HOPE, because I have been directed there sometimes, it doesn’t mean I am considered a user!!!

Yea, I killed my Facebook account a few months ago. It was just turning into a cesspool.

The final straw for me was when the riots started back in June, and so many of my old friends and family started descending into the pit of leftist self-loathing trying to out-virtue signal each other by loudly proclaiming how not-racist and sorry they are for being born white, and how anyone who disagrees is a racist and should unfollow them. So... deleted my account.

My wife still has a FB account, trying to talk her into quitting.

I use FB for one reason, to keep up with my relatives in Florida 700+ miles away, and my son/daughter and small grandchildren. Granted I’ve a few friends from high school I’ve reconnected with, but only allow myself a SMALL number of friends and lock my account down best I can. Not into “let’s see how many friends (victims) I can manage.” Nope...just for personal use to share with those close to me. If there is another use for it, I’m not interested.

I will say they revamped the site and it went from not bad to really, really sucks. Not surprised though. Anything that works isn’t allowed to last very long.

I go, I post, I leave. I do not sit on FB and review things. I bring things to others attention and leave.

You can also take a screen shot with the link showing ... these sometimes go through okay as images are more difficult to dissect ... the problem is if it is a long link, like many are, your target won’t take the time to do it manually.

I have been using that snipping tool a lot. That seems to work well.

[Antoninus]

I remain on FB for two reasons:

1.) Marketing

2.) It's enemy-occupied territory and a great place to do stealth politicking by dropping "censored" news stories onto the posts of leftist friends and in groups.
