I considered going back into Facebook with another name and another telephone number, but I was so disgusted with them that I figured why bother!
I miss contact with many of my friends, and I don't know of any way to get back in touch with them.
I considered Instagram, but that's owned by Facebook.
Facebook is a de facto monopoly.
It bothers me that Facebook is part of the Democrat Party's propaganda machine. That's why they expelled me: I am an outspoken supporter of President Trump.
Facebook has become an important communications network, and its owners should no more have the authority or the right to censor communications than do the owners of a telephone company.
I do not miss Facebook's ubiquitous bias.
I do not miss Facebook. I'm better off not having any association with them.
I don't know of a valid replacement for the contacts and the communications. They should not be able to expel people.
If there was another social website that everyone could join that wasn't owned or monopolized by Zuckerberg, that was user friendly of course, I would join it instead but I haven't found any such site. All of the rest of them are too complicated or "too open."
Facebook should not be able to expel people or censor communication. They cling to this authority because they intend to be a propaganda machine. They have excellent excuses, e.g. “We cannot permit terrorists from using Facebook” and “We cannot allow hate speech;” however, in fact, that gives them the authority to define “terrorist” and “hate speech” (anyone or anything they don’t like) and gives them complete license to use their power for propaganda.
