For anyone that's curious, I had enough of FB and YouTube. I closed my FB account months ago and will no longer be posting videos to YouTube. I have opened Parler and Rumble accounts. Stop by for a visit!
I'm on all three. All I really do on FB anymore is get advice from an RV page.

The spam thing: Actual spam, or postings you didn't want to see? Parler defaults to showing you a raft of stuff to which you didn't subscribe. You have to click "Subscriptions Only" to stop that stuff. And it doesn't appear to be very "sticky."
Buggy? Yeah, it's buggy. I've yet to have got it to accept a photo upload--even very small photos. The other day it had my browser consuming multiple CPUs and read/writing the drives like there was no tomorrow.
But it ain't Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/YouTube/Google/what-have-you, so...
Haven't signed-up to Rumble yet. Maybe today. Thanks for the WeMe hint, HRK!

My 30 Days passed day-before-yesterday. My FB account is now well and truly gone. I miss the cat rescue I love, but I could no longer give FB my custom for any reason. FB truly is De Ebil.

What's FB? Never heard of it. And life is good.

Hmmm, that could be reason my ipad mini kept crashing on Parler. I didn't check the CPU usage.
I just signed up on MeWe and I noticed very few hoops to jump thru on sign up. Their email request instead of phone number is nice.

Parler wants a mobile number for 2FA.

I did this about a month ago. Parler is great for conservative news and personalities. But it lacks the interface I had with lots of friends/acquaintances. But the only real thing I miss about Facebook is the ability to easily sell junk I'm trying to get rid of.
These go to eleven.

Parler seems more like a replacement for Twitter than a replacement for FB,
MeWe seems like a replacement for Facebook.

Is this the part where I say I've never had FB or twitmaker?

Signed up for Parler.
Have not signed up for Gab or Rumble.
I agree that the UI for Parler on my phone is clumsy at best but appears to be more useful on my PC.

I follow a few useful pages on FB. They all run a tight ship much like here or I wouldn't belong. I would miss those if I left. Also a lot family member stuff. However I have almost completely stopped posting myself.
Endeavor to persevere.

Just joined Rumble, was easy, and used TonyBen as a reference. Thanks!
