#1 Perhaps it’s time for Australia to migrate to alternative sites like MeWe for such things. Let Facebook enjoy the playing field and its ball all alone.

#2 I verified this last night. I took Tim Blair's URL and posted it to my home page - gonzo after three seconds of processing, by which time it was picked out as an Aussie site.

#3 why do people even go to facebook anymore. I stopped dealing with that bullshit 10 years ago and reduced my stress and homicidal rage greatly.

#7 Facebook can't die fast enough.

#8 I de-friended Facebook about election time because of their censorship of conservative voices.

People and governments need to use social media other than FB that are not hell-bent on censorship and tyranny.

#10 Facebook was nice to keep connected with friends from college. seems like it would be easy enough for someone to create a competitor but so far nobody has.
