I've been banned from Facebook!
Before you say, "Why did you ever use Facebook?!" The short answer is that all my old aunties and cousins, second cousins and distant relatives are there and I primarily use it to share photos with them.
It was one of these photos I posted from my recent Christmas trip to Little Havana and Wynwood in Miami that has seen me banished for violating community standards:
As you can see, nothing particularly bad here! Most seem to think it's the artwork from a famous Cuban exile in which one could possibly see a nude image?
Anyway, I will be posting even more of my stuff here on Steemit instead! Hopefully my family will find me here because I realised that I don't have any email addresses or phone numbers?! Facebook had made me lazy like that, I guess?
These tech monopolies have so much power over the content we see and the fact that they are the public square, as it were, means they have a lot of control over freedom of assembly and free speech. It's something to ponder as we head into 2018.
Any Facebook banning stories to share?
FB is a disaster as D Trump would say)

I banned myself from facebook and all social media 2 years ago when I realized what a leftist bunch of NSA shills the whole team was...I didn't like being a product for the machine. I found Steemit in November and converted my wife and as soon as my dad figures out how to copy and paste a 30 digit password that doesn't contain his grand-daughters name, he will be on here as well. (love you Dad) I will get the rest of the family in time.

I love the story I arrived two weeks ago, and could not stand anti-social media either. So my question to you is...how much longer does a free, no ad, video-game style, anonymously based social platform that pays you to place content at your choosing remain a secret to big mouth nature that is created on anti-social sites like facebook? I think we both know that answer. Ha, it's kind of like a Facebook rapture.

Right!? If you look at it on Alexa, in the past few months, its gone from the 2,000th most popular site to the 676th most popular site in the US...I think 2018 will be a huge year for Steemit and Steem.

Yes I did actually hear that fact cited at one point. Not sure if that ranking is cumulative or done based on each month's average but even still that is surprisingly high already. Think of how many mega sites there are used in the US regularly just by people you know. Yeah that number has great potential for a rise. I hate to say it, but a financial crisis might be the tipping point for this platform to turn into a monster overnight. Anything like the 2008 shenanigans that were going on the markets (of which BTC, and the newly established cryptos were basically born in the first place). I certainly am not rooting for that of course as this platform is well on its way regardless.

I believe people should be free and that their governments should be radically transparent.

The NSA is just one of their tools.

I actually Banned myself from FaceBook not long after learning all about how its an MK-Ultra Pay-Ops platform injecting parasitic narratives deep into the cortex of the unfortunate souls that use it. After many months of using herbal remedies to purge the many voices in my head that were deployed in my brain from a few years of using FaceBook, I began to actually CONNECT with my Fan Base through SteemIt and started paying my bills...

Facebook sucks so hard. I can’t stand it. What’s social media? You make the product; they make the profit. Then they get a bunch of stupid people to self regulate (which really means tow the communist agenda or get banned), throw in some experimental beta ai algorithm that doesn’t know the difference between a vagina and an armpit, and you get banned.

These social platforms like Facebook and Twitter that took advantage of people for so long will soon be a thing of the past. They made billions off of their users, not only did they not share any of it like Steemit and other platforms alike are doing, but they also censored freedom of expression. I disagree with some posts like racism and prejudice however the community should condemn expression of such, we don't need Facebook to act like our parents.

Facebook, Google/YouTube, Twitter, and a few others REALLY tick me off! Maybe you can tell from my name? lol
As we build their massive databases, earning them unbelievable wealth from our information, our participation, and our effort, they continuously censor, suspend, and ban us for totally asinine reasons, or even no reason at all.
Recently, I saw someone that had been suspended for the most petty reason, something that didn't align with Facebook's, "up is down, black is white, and war is peace" perverted ideology. The kicker however, was when the user then reported someone that had posted an image of a man cutting the throat of a police officer! FaceCrooks reply, "That doesn't violate our Terms of Service." Wow! Call a transgender person the wrong pronoun however, which can change day-by-day, or minute-by-minute, and it's straight to Facebook Detention! That is in no way attacking any group, as I believe we're all born to be who we are. We should accept EVERYONE the same. Facebook, and the others however, very much have an agenda. What they claim to stand against, they support in every way!
Without getting into Conspiracy Theory territory type of stuff here, if left unchecked, I can see the powers-that-be saying that what is child pornography to those of us with a functioning brain, is perfectly acceptable on their tyrannical sites, as it's just the free expression of love. We're living in strange times.
Steemit is great, and it's just an infant. Although there are problems, which should be expected, we can continue to make it into THEE premiere social site on the Internet! We all own it. There are no whack-job, greedy, abusive idiots calling the shots here. WE can build the society that we want, and I don't see how it can be anything but much better than what is out there now.
Steem On, and get outta the way Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and the rest, or the Steem Roller is gonna flatten you!
HAPPY NEW YEAR to EVERYONE!
P.S. Thanks for your post. The more people that learn what Facebook is really about, the sooner they'll hit the door running, and headed to STEEMIT!

Banned!? That’s outrageous. You know I was in the “just let people find this place for themselves when they find it, no need to rush” camp but Facebook needs to take a hint already. Let’s bring everyone over here now.
I was never banned but my posts reach exactly 0 people thanks to their wonderful algorithms? A large part of it had to do with not using Facebook frequently, theycpunish you for that, Maybe it’s also because I’ve linked to RT or WL articles in the past, probably hurts your reach.

It is usually one way close, another open. As Facebook closes it's doors, you can fully Steem(it) now.
You could introduce your family members to the platform too. A complete family on the blockchain wouldn't be bad after all.

5.) You’re sending too many friend requests
