What’s the new social media everyone jumped to instead of Facebook?

    I remember some here talking about going to a gun friendly social media outlet. Can anyone tell me what it is? Seems like it started with a W or something...
     
    I have no reason to be anywhere online other than the Hide. It's the gun friendliest place there is. A small alternative is https://www.full30.com/ for videos, although I don't watch too many videos so I'm not there very much. There's a SH channel on there along with other good ones.

    In real life, the range is best.

    Edit: Since this necro-thread was revived, Full30 is still running but Frank hasn't posted anything in over two years. John McQuay is still running his 8541Tactical channel on there though, always a good watch.

    I don’t do Facebook, but I would join a gun friendly alternative just to detract from Facebook anybody in the firearms business needs to shitcan their Facebook account like yesterday. I believe YouTube and Facebook have miss judged their “not needing” anyone on the right to survive. I would love to see a documentary in 20 years about this thing called Facebook and YouTube and how they collapsed.

    But you are already on other social media. Full30, YouTube, here, Instagram. I’m sure there are others.
     
    Not on YouTube or Instagram, nor FB or Twitter (or any of the other big names), rarely make my way over to Full30 which I mentioned as a video based pro-gun alternative. I do have a LinkedIn account for job hunting, that will get smoked here soon once I start work and get through the probation period.

    And I kind of mentioned here on the Hide is the best place to be, I never said I didn't do social media as I certainly acknowledge the Hide as one. I have found all the rest come with serious consequences. The only other forum you will find me on is for Ford Explorers as I try to further extend the longevity of my 22 year old SUV.

    Speaking of Social Media, I noticed my FB Page for SH will barely load if at all, yet if I just go to the news feed it loads perfectly well

    My page has an Error message that says Oops we are working on the problem, and you have to load it several times to work, but the normal feed and other pages work

    They can suppress you without much effort and still make it look like an accident

    Agreed! Scary world we live in!!!

    Their server just can't handle your tactical goatee. :sneaky:
     
    Another really stupid thing that some social media platforms such as Twitch and Twitter have started to adopt is to ban/suspend you for shit you do on other sites. So as most of you all know, I'm not very friendly to the SJW crowd and under these new dumbass rules, if I said something here at the Hide to the effect of "all SJWs are faggots" and Twitch found out about it, I'd get my Twitch account banned. I'm no stranger when it comes to assholes stealing my content from other sites and try to use it against me, but now it's entire platforms that are gonna be acting like autistic detectives. This being a gun site and all, the Second Amendment is very important to us, but we need to acknowledge that our First Amendment is getting hit way harder as of late.
     
    Conceding and retreating are not strategies typically found in victorious campaigns.
    Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. are all battlegrounds and walking away from them, and retreating to safe places like here and FOX News is not exactly taking the fight to the enemy.

    Good in theory, but Facebook is not a battleground. It's a biased entity that does not depend on the truth. Not only can there be no fair fight, you're not allowed to fight at all. Try and you get banned. Twitter and Youtube are slightly better turf, but the steady creep towards political correctness is just a fact of life there too. I expect Youtube to bow under stress before Twitter, but time will tell. We need to speak with our votes in the mid-terms and in the next presidential election.

    If everyone here went to places like Youtube and posted anything and everything related to firearms or shooting, they would go broke trying to police it!

    Setup a bogus account, use it until they shut it down, and then open another one. It is actually really easy to do.

    I should know, I have been doing it for years! Unfortuntately, when the numbers of people who are doing it is small, it does not putting enough strain on their system to break it.

    Personally, I am not going to let them win that easily! They don't play by any fair rules, why should we!

    I think we need to somehow get better unified on our messaging.
    Here's a good example in this article.
    Social media is suppressing the voices of Conservatism, yet they allow those who promote Socialism to run unchecked.
    If you're a member on social media and see a post that promotes Socialism, you should be reporting that post as "Hate Speech".

    Been there, done that, still doing that. We're working on more Youtube shooting vids right now. So I get what you are saying, but the noose is tightening and it's a matter of time before they step through, topic by topic and keep re-writing the rule book. I'm looking at how much time I have, how I spend it and what impact it has. Bogus forum account setup gets old and has limited impact. Your "numbers of people who are doing it is small" comment is a part of the crux. We have to look at ways to recruit and grow.

    I think we need to somehow get better unified on our messaging.

    That's where I'm coming from. Sometimes you need a big hammer, other times you need something more subtle that has potential for growth.
     
    Facebook is still suppressing SH

    The page does not load, you have to refresh each time to view it, usually going back and forth

    They are all publicly held companies and they all have to answer to investors.
    And the best way to get a reaction is to ignore the sites that censor. If Lib money is enough for them so be it. Don't give them so much as a click. Why post when no one but a few will see it anyway? JMHO
     
    Like it or not Cambridge Analytica used Facebook's weaknesses against the Democrats and swung the election in Trump's favor. What they did was nothing shy of brilliant, and Hillary would be president today if they hadn't use the social media platforms they did and in the ways they did.
     
    Did you watch the movie Social Dilemma? This is how we live our lives controlled by the biggest industries. Google does the same thing with all the apps and devices we have at home. Nothing is certain nowadays. We are manipulated and continue to be. What is good about everything is that we are able to earn money just by sitting under our comfort blanket. I'm a video gamer and having over 40 k followers on Instagram and 20K on my Facebook page I was eager to have more. More followers, more money bro. Not? I used Helpwyz's service on this Website to grow my audience by paying. This shit is fucking working, for sure. I have almost 100 K and I want continue to grow, why not if the price is the lowest one.

    The Constitution is dead. Between the commies on the left and the gotta get them terrorists/druggies/pedos on the right there aren’t many people that stand up for freedom and limited government.





    Oh yeah gotta love that it is A Ok for the tech oligarchy to censor/cancel things they don’t like but .gov will force a christian Baker to make an obscene cake for some faggots.

    One or the other. Not both.

    Just if was that little effort to suppress a rifle.

    Soooo.... You dredged up a two year old thread to point out how we're controlled by the "biggest industries" because of a movie produced and distributed by one of the biggest (Netflix) in the movie industry?

    I think everyone understands that the Instagram took Facebook’s place. Now everyone is developing their Instagram accounts in order to gain some money by selling products or services. I have 46k followers and half of them were bought online. If you want to buy Instagram real and active followers just check this link and try to develop your Instagram. You may create a great content and attract more and more people. Good luck with that!
    Yeah, FB is not what it once was. But I still check once in a while, just for the news and updates on people's life. It's interesting (sometimes).
