I am a Facebook Refugee

I keep my head low, I didn't get kicked off. But I slowly watched things happen to those I followed or repsected or just wanted to listen to. This is not the America I grew up in. I left Twitter for almost a year. I made my public proclamation that I was leaving FB. But I am still there. Why? I am not sure where to go. I have signed up for Gab, for Minds, and for Steemit. I am following some of my favorite creators on Bitchute. I fear that the powers that be will try to take down all of the above, and take solace in the decentralized nature.

I am a mom of 6 -- all still at home -- and I worry about the world they will live in. It will be very different, and in my opinion, much less free. I wish I knew how to program (did a little Fortran back in the 80's when I was a Math major ;)) because this revolution will be a digital one. I am looking to "arm" myself, to understand how to use decentralized technology and even currency to my advantage.

I look forward to following you. I posted a couple of blogs i wrote on Minds where I wrote out my thoughts on some of the issues that keep me up at night. I hope to find a like minded community so that we can have some concrete ideas to enact legislatively, technologically, or however we best exert our rights as human beings to express ourselves in this thing called life.

I am so with you on this! I don't like Facebook, my family is always pushing me to do more on Facebook. I don't trust it, way too much info out there on people and I believe they collect way too much info about you. My wife and I made an account together like 10 years ago and rarely use it, that cause a bunch of BS from our families... You can do that, its not right blah blah blah. LOL we made one together just to get everyone to shut up and quit asking us to make accounts.
Do people really need to know what you ate for breakfast or that you're at the gym right now... Steemit is much more up my alley.
I upvoted and followed you. Enjoy your time here :)
