So here is my site, and it is rarely used. I want to use it as an alternative to Facebook.

And here is why.

Last year when it was revealed that certain types of posts, especially as they relate to politics, are filtered, it just seemed like a good time to take a break. No matter what your thoughts, I like to read them, and if a friend got too carried away (no matter what their leanings), I would mute/unfriend/ignore, whatever. I haven’t gone so far as to delete my account.

This week, I downloaded Facebook onto my phone, and out of curiosity did some exploring in the settings. It turns out, after installing, it immediately stole all the info from my budgeting app. Without asking me.

That was another impetus for not returning to Facebook regularly any time soon.
