On a side note, I know where they are at. Their business office address is out on Raeford Road close to 71st High School (if they grew up in da 'Ville, they probably went to 71st High School).

I think it's a pathetic attempt to replace the community one experiences in neighborhoods and churches of old.

I think a lot of  people that use it for that reason and to make"friends" to make their lives seem more interesting. you can be who or what ever you want to be on the old interweb.

Not if your "friends" tell on you.   

I am in the situation where the majority of my family uses FB to keep up with each other. All my siblings and in-laws, nieces & nephews, and adult daughter w/ our grandsons. Only ones in my extended family without a FB account are my parents.

Could go the phone/snail mail route, but would miss a lot of what's going on when the rest of the family assumes any needed news has been disseminated via social media announcements and/or chat communiques.

Also, I'm really not much of one for phone conversations. Never have been.

Plus I'd really miss the videos of my grandsons, cute buggers that they are....

As for Diamond & Silk - I thought their primary avenue of dissemination is Youtube?

I've seen it.

Trick is to get the rest of the family to give up FB. Most lean conservative, but at the same time are not very politically motivated.  FB censorship of a political account is unlikely to rile them up enough to make a change that will leave their friends (real) and FB buddies behind.

I figure FB will probably continue to pursue their leftists intolerance to the point even right leaning moderates start leaving in droves, at which time family members will be willing to consider alternatives.

Yeah, I know what you mean.
I think they'll probably be moving on soon enough when Suckerberg gets this whole thing hung around his neck, meaning the Analytica scandal.

Zuckerberg's testimony in front of congress should be interesting. He might just hang himself.
