    I left the LPNM simply because I have an extremely low tolerance for back stabbing and cheating. Others left around the same time I did for the same reason.

    Consider Diaspora*, Flote, Friendica, Gab, Liberty.Me, MeWe, Minds, Pocketnet, or Spreely as possible alernatives.

    I’m slowly duplicating my FB pages on Spreely, in advance of a possible mass migration.

    Diaspora* doesn’t have pages or groups, and it helps if you can read German, French and Spanish, but there is some interesting stuff there.

    Friendica is similar to Diaspora, along with the posts in Russian and Japanese.

    Gab is a less-censored version of Twitter.

    MeWe lets you create groups at no charge, but charges you per month for pages. Also, they don’t let you share links for anything there (including your own stuff) outside of MeWe.

    Minds lets you create groups at no charge, but doesn’t have any version of pages. Plus, the mobile version works fine, but on the desktop / laptop version, their user interface needs a bit of work.

    Jason Ohler — Get it right — Brown always ran as a Democrat.

    Now, the first “assault weapon” ban in America was signed into law by *Republican* Governor of KKKalifornia George Deukmejian in 1989, after it passed the KKKalifornia Assembly by a margin of one vote.

    In 2004, *Republican* Girly-Man Governator Schwartzenegger signed a bill outlawing civilian possession of .50BMG rifles.

    Once the Capitol Building is boarded up, we can connect the security CCTV system to pay-per-view. The fun begins when the cafeteria refrigerators and vending machines are emptied out.

    Why is that the plagues, school shooters, child molestors, and drug dealers seem to leave the private schools and home schoolers alone?
