    @Beth Gallagher = your missing - Nothing. It is much wasted space. I only get on there to see great grand kids from time to time. That and Tik Tok need to evaporate away.

    I"ve been suspended by Twitter....They never gave any reason but I suspect it was because I tweeted to the people that are woke, socialist the things that don't like to hear

    Facebook is a waste of people's time, especially those who post crap there. People who have business or hobby-related facebook pages are another matter.

    Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter was approved. Not sure when that will reflect in its policies.

    According to the Mail,

    Prominent right-wing tweeters have seen their follower counts shoot up since Elon Musk took over, sparking claims their accounts had been suppressed by woke Twitter staffers. Meanwhile, leading left-wing figures including Barack Obama as well as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have seen huge slumps since news of Musk's purchase. Source

    The problem with business pages is that someone like me who has no Facebook account cannot easily view it.

    I found that out when I was running a hobbyist web site. After about a month of messing with the Facebook page, I gave up posting to it and never went back.

    The place is governed by a bunch of foreign commies, servers all over the world due to the huge size of membership. Guess what, most of the world hates America !!! I tried 3 times to keep an account active due to knowing so many veterans I served with daily. After the commies started going back 5 years to ban for something I said was a bit to silly for me. I miss talking to my old buddies but facebook and the commies can kiss my _ _ _. My freedom of expression is much more important than spending long hours on a place that is making billions due to the very content I write or post. I hate commies and I hate young morons that aspire to be a commie. ;0) I know I know, I sound like Flint Cristwood in Gran Torino. My Gran Torino was much more prettier. The one in the warehouse background was not mine, but mine was identical. I had to order mine and it took 2 months to get it. All that was available at the time was bucket seat models, my wife wanted the bench seat so that was the reason for the delay. ;0(

    I never understood why my oldest wanted everyone to contact her through facebook. She Said it was easier--convenient. I never joined. Not because I don't love my kids but why can't they just drop me an email, a phone call or a note? I even learned to text on a FLIP PHONE

    Asking family to do something like that in order to "stay in touch" reduce relationships to something along the order of a chore to be done. They may as well have "If you're a parent, Oprima el Numero Dos" on their phones, followed up with "Please hold for the next available offspring. Your familial connection is important to us." That's a horrible thing to delegate to that level, and it's become the norm for so many.

    I do understand the reluctance to the idea of using FB as a family contact point but on the other hand there’s the option of opening a family group site.

    I think Yvonne’s daughter-in-law started such a site so those on that side of the family can post pictures and report the births, graduations, busted toenails or whatever to the group as a whole.
    Of course, for individual dealings they e-mail, text or call each other but the FB option is sort of a family gathering point.

    Personally, even though I’m a member, if FB disappeared today I wouldn’t be bothered by it but since it’s still on line I peruse the sites I like and avoid a lot of the drama heavy sites that appear to be attractions for way left wing FB friendly trolls.

    I was able to text since 2001 but over the years I had less reason to text and today I couldn't even begin to text someone. The closet is full of phones, one a smart phone I only used for one month because I was waiting on getting a new isp for internet and didn't want to be disconnected from everything. I tethered the smart phone using a 9 dollar app and had full screen internet until that unlimited actually became limited. I don't know how they get away with the lies when it comes to phones and monthly cost. I will probably just throw all of them in the garbage because I have no intentions of using them ever again. I have one new flip phone, I like millions were forced to buy due to going to 5g. The phone is a 4g which my carrier can serve. The phone is terrible and hard to use so many useless pages and garbage because it is a semi smart flip phone. The one weakness is you can't block any of the spam calls and I have been getting them like 3 or 4 a week, always at nap time. I have no one who would be calling me so I ignore them and just delete them soon as I get up from my nap.
