There are alternatives to facebook but you won't get that facebook feel.
Here's a question:
If you started your own online blog, vlog or free forum, how many of your facebook friends would follow you there and join or support you? How many would throw you under the bus or just plain forget about you?
A few years ago people were fed up with FB and there was another platform created that was more free of ads and whatnot.
But you do get the problem indeed that many people won't follow.
It's like trying to get a large group of people to go to another pub, a new one, while they're actually quite happy in the old one.
The old one has everything, so what is the appeal of wanting to go to a new one with very few commodities?
So a few went to this new platform (I cannot recall the name), but it was shortlived.
And I feel like I said in my previous post: why move? THere is no reason. You just don't connect with people you don't like and you have no problem. Sure, you got ads, but you got those everywhere in day to day life too. Does that make you move to another town? Nope.
Just now I was on a free week training from a professional coach. On Facebook. I loved it. And I love this being possible!
I do btw also have a blog on Wordpress. But it's not nearly the same as FB. It'd be comparing apples and pears.
