After watching what liberal social media has done to our nation I am urging people to delete Facebook , Twitter , etc !! Lets try to hurt them where it hurts >> In their bank accounts. I'm deleting my facebook acct and have set up a mewe acct.

Be sort of difficult for me to delete my social media sites. I'm not on any.

Sorry I missed this post. I've been on MeWe since June of 2019 and I like the site very much, I do recommend using it. However, it has been inundated with droves of people leaving other social media (no surprise) due to all the monstrosities, so it's functioning a bit sluggishly right now at times. Keep trying if you're going to set up a page there.
Also look for ways around gmail in case that goes down if you're using it, there are rumors.
I'd hate for it to become a reality but I think there are hideous things coming down the pike. I've had that doom feeling all week and while I'm dealing with some personal tragedies I have a lot on my plate lately as it is, but I do hang around here often and feel free to send me messages anytime. By the way, I have everyone's email addresses saved in case this site goes away so if it's current in your profile it's on my list.
My MeWe group is ready, PM me for the name and I'll figure out how it all works from here.

Piney, can you recommend an alternative to gmail? I've only ever had one other email account but I haven't used it for years.
Otherwise, good advice and thanks for it. I have used my husband's FB account to keep his friends up to speed on his health crisis and death, but I dropped my own FB about three years ago. Haven't used google search engine in three years. Never used twitter. I'm on MeWe.

I have no reasonable alternative other than my yahoo account. I checked into ProtonMail but the daily limit for messages on their free account level is 150, which won't be enough for me. They are secure though, and if you don't mind paying a subscription then they have other options for capacity.
I like Mewe and I set up the new group in less than ten minutes.

My MeWe group for this group, whomever wants to come join. These forums have been great but we are a chatty group of people that may benefit from live chat and limitless photo posting, so I started a MeWe group.

AAARGH! I got back into FB. I needed it while I was going through the process of my hubby's illness and death, because I had none of his contacts otherwise.
Now that I'm living in a new place, I have used it to learn about my new home, and to see road reports through this horrible winter. Now that I've met more folks in town who think like me, politically, I have to bite my fingertips off to keep from jumping into the fray!
I did have one wonderful time last summer with the help of FB -- The kids at the local day care got to come with their teachers and pick veggies in my garden, and then they got to watch their cook turn those veggies into yummy meals! They asked a million really smart questions, and it almost made me LOL to watch a couple of six-year-olds rassle a big old cabbage out of the ground! It was very gratifying to help teach kids about where real food comes from.
I win this time. I struggle to beat the addiction to the Holy Glowing Rectangle.
