Have You Left Leftist Social Media Yet?
I am happy to say that I cut ties totally.

I have made everyone of these moves and am happy I did:

I'll personally make a pitch for Minds

Wide open but very chill.

Are there many well known conservatives there?

No, I haven't left.  That's where the front-line is. 

If Trump ends-up establishing his own platform, I'll leave and go there.

At first I thought that staying there and fighting was good while simultaneously supporting and using the others. But my comments and votes on Youtube are blocked and Twitter immediately shadowbans all conservatives so what's the point?

If you are on Twitter I will net you anything you are shadowbanned right now. Do you know how to tell?

1) Go to Twitter on a regular computer.
3) Tweet something simple and harmless like "I support GOP policies." Put is a couple of hashtags, and add one nonsense hashtag that nobody else would ever use, like #DrafeHoblinForPresident.
4) Click on your nonsense hashtag and you will likley see your post all by itself because nobody else has used it.

Now for the test!

Log off of Twitter, and THEN go to that hashtag as a visitor, and I'll bet your tweet will not appear. THAT is when you know you are Shadowbanned.

Never joined Twitter, so there wasn't anything there to dump.

FB, on the other hand, I was pretty involved in. Admin of several pages and spent more than a little bit of time each day on the site. Dumped FB about 6 months ago. Confirmed about 2 weeks ago that my account is dust.

Still review (but not participate in) YT on a regular basis.

Joined Parler a couple months ago, but don't participate much. MeWe, on the other hand, I review pretty much daily.

And yeah, I dumped Google as my search engine well over a year ago. Duck Duck Go is my prescribed engine, but I'm always open to other non-bullshit search engines. AFAIC, they're all subject to corruption at some point.

A few, but I don't go to social media for politics.

I go for frens

Nope, still on Facebook for family and friends. I limit my activities to family stuff and gaming material with my friends. If anything political, for either side, shows up in my feed it gets deleted immediately.

FB is still my primary.

Use to have a twitter, but got a perm bann for 'unusual account activity', yea my ass.

Tried Parlor, nice alt to FB, but needs a bit more refining.

I don't really use youtube, prefer porn hub.

I got on Parler 1.0 before it got cancelled, randomly looked to see, it does appear to be back up for now, will have to go back and look at it.

Still on FB for family and a few friends.  Don't post much.

Still on Twitter, mostly following the few conservative voices left there and watching the moonbats lose their guano on a regular basis.  Post even less there cause they swing the banhammer frequently.

 DDG gets most of my searches, other than school/work stuff, and the occasional "not finding info/answers" from it.

I'm with Drafe on the front line analogy.  Conservatives and Christians abandoning those fronts is bad for everyone, IMHO.  As said in another thread, I don't blame people for leaving them, but feel individuals should decide how they want to handle that part of the fight.  Nothing wrong with denying the enemy clicks and accounts. 

Even if they aren't conservative leaning, alternative social media needs to be supported, if it's good.  FB, Twitter, IG, all need reminders they aren't the only game in town, and can fall from their great heights easily. 

Finally, I have seen some reports of serious data breaches and harvesting at Gab, old Parler, and probably new Parler.  Being that hackers tend to lean SJW, these platforms are big targets.  Anyone on them aware of such issues?

Nah.  I'm not shadowbanned.  i communicate anti-dem, pro-GOP/anti-lib, pro-conservative like I always have like normal (since 2012). 

I was actually banned for calling Geraldo 'a schizo'.  That's about it.  I interact with former CU-member Fla Gator pretty often. 

The site will send me a message if I try to retweet something from a banned member... disguised as an THERE'S BEEN AN ERROR message.  Or it just flat-out disables the retweet option. 

This, from someone who was banned from Conservative Political Forum in December 2015 for posting pro-Trump items.

I use Duck Duck Go as well.

I dumped Fascist Book 6 months ago. Only used it for family but most family are democrats so I did not lose anything.
