So why would anyone here want to use such fora?

So why would anyone here want to use such fora?

People who are disenchanted with FaceBook are looking for alternatives that have a similar interaction.

But how many people with such a perspective frequent these fora?

But how many people with such a perspective frequent these fora?

During the discussion on migrating from CHE to somewhere else, "Not FaceBook!" was a common vote.

We've had people inquire about how to migrate their Yahoo groups.

I can believe we have people who just now learned about relevant privacy concerns for linking all their accounts everywhere and find the idea of another, separate platform appealing.

I can believe we have people who just now learned that the settings to keep 'everything' private on FaceBook are a moving target and many cases exist of people finding out private posts were available to all including searchable on the internet.

In short, I doubt we have too many people who were kicked off FaceBook as part of the changing rules, but I can believe that nebo isn't the only person who would be interested in an alternative to FaceBook.

Since I avoid Falsebook like the plaguey time-sink I always saw it to be, I'm not interested in an alternative time sink.

For that, I have the fora....

The name "MeWe" has a not-quite-grown-up sound to it.

It sounds distinctly NSFW to me.
