Starting off 2021 on a firm Right foot.........

Sit back and talk with friends. Same rules as before. Rule #1-Relax with friends on the front or back porch.
Rule #2-No Politics, religion or anything above a G level.

I like Zuckerburg about as much as I like Gates. Not to mention the idiot that runs Twitter.
Check out the last 007 movie "SPECTRE"....so close to the truth it's frightening. A global organization spying on everyone, everywhere and manipulating gov'ts. Fiction huh?

I am not on any social networks, and one day soon the cell phone is gone forever too. Wife has never had a cell phone. Land line in the house, and the wife's PC which I am on right now. That's it.

No facebook, twitter or instagram here. Thought about tic-tok but I can’t dance a lick to that’s out. :lol:

I’m perfectly happy to use this site and a local gun site to socialize via internet.

We had a Facebook account for our Veteran's Charity, I had my page, the Charity was a sub account off that. Miss T was signed up to stay connected with the kids, in four cities in three states. When we joined, you could control who you allowed to see your page, and when you friended someone, you could control which of their info you saw. (I always checked only photos and important updates) I never cared about Candy Crush scores and if you labeled your post about what you had for lunch important, I unfriended you for being too dumb to know the definition of "important."

Then Facebook decided people like me weren't seeing enough content, so they took away that control. Not only could I not limit incoming updates from "friends" but when I friended someone, I began seeing posts from their friends. I was flooded with pictures of vegan lunches and Candy Crush accomplishments from friends of my three daughter's friends. :twisted: out of dozens of new posts each time I logged on, I waded through them all to find ten percent mattered to me.

We had passed control of the Charity to a new leadership team. I decided to delete my membership. I discovered I couldn't delete my membership. I could deactivate it, but not delete it. (I guess facebooks membership numbers never drop, but if you ask about Active memberships?)

I sent all my contacts a short note telling them were were gone. Use our emails. Never been back. Never twittered, just won't take that leap.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Like Fbook but not so controlling. Lots of rifle and revolver groups and other groups of interest. Trying to get my local friends to move there too.
Look for Mewe app or just Mewe .com

If Twitter and Facebook had any say about they would be gone now.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I opened a Parler account. Unavailable right now. Dumping F book and google. Trying to use the media for information and news. Plus contact with friends and family.
