I was introduced to this a couple weeks ago. Seems nice.mojo84 wrote:Here is and alternative to facebook for those that are interested. Maybe enough people will move over to it so it will be a viable platform. However, it appears quite a few that have set up accounts have done so in addition to their facebook account rather than instead of.

If you are not interested or don't want to utilize such a platform, then don't.

Re: Knowing Now Are You Still Participating in Face Book?
I see facebook as a tool, just as I'm sure many others do. The people who are running the company may lean liberal, but that does not mean the tool cannot be utilized for things we support. Some people have said they use the site to argue against antis. While the die-hard antis may not have their minds changed, there are those who sit on the fence that may be convinced that being rabid anti-gun is not for them. These are the people we want to reach.
There are some who use facebook for work. My church uses it to reach out to people in the neighborhood, as well as providing social media access for prayer requests. I also use it to keep up to date on local weather as to when the National Weather Service is activating storm spotters in my area. It is a tool.
And yes, many of us here use it to keep up with family. Photos, videos, and messages are all easier to see on social media. Yes, you can do a phone call, or a video call. What if you are unable to reach that particular family member at that time to share a live video? I've been able to watch videos of my sister and her family in Seattle that I would otherwise have missed because of facebook. My point is, social media (and more specifically facebook) is a tool.
Maybe social media isn't for you, and that's fine. I believe all of us here know that the people who run facebook are left leaning and mostly anti-2a. Just like the choice we each make to open carry vs conceal carry; I won't shame a person for their choice, even if my personal choice is to do something different.
