    I just bumped into a new app via Conservative Tribune on FB. It’s called the “Feedme app” and from what I gather, it’s a super feed outlet which is based on personal algorithms in regard to what a person normally reads.
    If say, Herman Cain was to get deleted from FB because of whatever bias on the side of FB is, I would still get the publication he tried to get on FB.
    If Google decided it didn’t like the content of what someone I follow wrote, I would still get the feed using the app.
    Same with Twitter or any other site where my preferences would normally appear plus it would gather (I think) the other feeds that are similar.

    Here’s a little more about it and it seems like folks are already signing up for it. I’m going to do a little more studying because it seems a lot like Cookies on steroids. If everything really seems to be as above board as it looks at this stage, I might just sign up!

    I don't use either FaceBook or Twitter, because I find them unnecessary.

    Email fulfills all my needs to communicate with others.

    Old Fashioned? Square? Not With It?

    That's Me!

    Yowzah!

    I can't recall if we discussed this before. I use Facebook to stay in touch with family and friends and to let them know I am still alive.

    I use it but spend more time in private groups I’ve joined.

    I don’t do shares and very few likes or even posts unless it’s a birthday one.

    Most of my immediate family barely posts on there anymore.....they might be on Instagram ...I am also but haven’t posted a darn thing...just joined.

    I just received a invitation to a family Thanksgiving Dinner from my grand daughter that will be hosting it at her new home. There will be 20 plus people here in Fresno.

    No, I don't use Facebook or any of the "over-sharing" social media sites.

    @Lon Tanner You did start a similar thread, but you were asking about if people belonged to any specific groups.
    I quit Facebook a long long time ago. Getting a message from someone I dated when I was 19 is really awkward. :D

    I use Facebook to keep in touch with wide-spread family. I use twitter to ankle-bite politicians.

    Facebook is stupid, and I should know, because I've never experienced it!

    Sincerely,
    Hal

    I cancelled my FB a few months ago as it was getting hacked for the fourth time and my password was getting so complicated that I had to look it up every time. I miss some of it as I had my friends down to ones that shared same interest and wouldn't post meme after meme of extreme liberal politics or fake news articles or the "share this if you are my friend" or endless "happy birthday to my mama in heaven."

    My I-mac generates 15 character passwords for me and keeps them secure.
