PLEASE FREELY SHARE THIS POST IF YOU ARE FEELING THIS WAY.
I have had it with Facebook, I'll keep using it while I try to attract friends to better, freer more mature platforms where they won't be treated like children or threatened by Facebooks creepy staff who refuse point blank to actually interact on any human level with anybody. They are freaks, they delete content that doesn't break the rules while they allow psychopaths to publish whatever they like on the platform?
So, I am checking our others that offer freedom and non-interference, here's a list of great networks that won't interfere with you or your content:
Facebook Alternatives 2019 – Social Networks That Won’t Sell Your Data

https://mastodon.social
Mastodon launched in 2017 and made quite an impact on the social network scene. Mastodon is a free, open-source social network. When it launched it was presented as an open source Twitter competitor, but as people are leaving Facebook it's being used the same way you would Facebook, which makes it a really good alternative to Facebook.
Ultimately Mastodon is a decentralized alternative to all the commercial social network platforms, which means that no single company owns it or can monopolize your communication.
https://steemit.com/
Steemit is like a cross between Reddit and Quora where you can publish your posts which can be voted up or down depending if people like them or not ( similar to both Reddit and Quora ).
When you get upvotes you receive Steem crypto tokens which lends itself well to those cryptocurrency and open source enthusiasts. Also, people are using the platform due to its compensation to the users for spending time using the platform.
Users don’t have to post anything if they don’t want to and it can simply be used as a news aggregator or just a platform to get involved in conversations related to specific interests.
Steemit has about 10 million visits per month which in comparison to Facebook is tiny! But it's growing and it doesn’t gobble up your personal data and sell it to 3rd parties.
https://www.minds.com/
Minds is an open source social network that was created by Bill Ottman, John Ottman and Mark Harding in 2012 but launched to the public in 2015.
The platform is a community-owned social networking platform that rewards its users for their activity online, similar to the Steemit platform. They do this with paying users in crypto and providing users with more views on their posted content. Minds will monitor each user's daily contribution and relative to the community. The amount a user gets will be determined by their percentage across the network which then determines their share of the Daily Reward Pool of tokens.
Minds social network is built on a foundation of freedom, transparency, privacy, and democratization.

Ello launched back in 2014 with quite a stir in the US as it was about the time when Facebook changed its policy on the names of its members, where they had to use their proper legal name. Its popularity grew as Ello presented itself to the world as a “Facebook killer social network” which doesn’t push ads down its users’ throats and doesn’t sell peoples’ information and data to 3rd parties.
Ello is growing fast again, especially as the #deletefacebook movement is gathering pace. People want to feel safe and secure on a social network and it doesn’t seem to be that way on Facebook at the moment. Hence why platforms like Ello are gobbling up these Facebook migrants.
Ello currently is home to artists and creative people but has the platform to embrace all types of users.
I hope to see you in the broader Social Network, Remember, Facebook doesn't own the internet and they are not the only alternative... !!!
