I need a Facebook replacement

Jump

  • Like people already wrote, FB is not used anymore to share your vacation and see your friends food plates. Me and about everybody around me are using FB for Marketplace (big here, about the only platform used to buy/sell), and for all kind of groups, being for hobbies like RC cars, Astronomy, Funko Pop, RVing, Painting, Costco, whatever, etc.

    I have not posted a pic or a thought on FB for years, nor really read something from my hundred friends there in my FB feed, but I go there about everyday to browse my groups.

    It's not as good as old forums about your car brand/model etc, but it is happening there now.

    If you want to replace FB for friends/family/picture/events, no clue, maybe IG lol

  • Doesn't he know Canada is basically a british colony? We have the King on all our coins/bills, if he wants to invade Canada, I think UK will say something about it. And if Canada separates, I'd rather join France than USA. Also we can burn the white house like in 1812.

  • “They may cuss us out,” Mr. Taylor said. “But they never stop building.”

    One of the problem is new properties should not be allowed to be built in such areas. Others should be kind of grand-fathered, but I understand if insurers are being bankrupted, there is a problem somewhere.
