Are you sick of facebook filtering the content you want to see? Me too! I'm starting to transition over to MeWe! It's a platform that has no advertisements, is free (you can buy icon packs and such if you want which is how they can avoid ads but they aren't necessary...although I'm leaning towards buying the bee icon pack haha) and they're HUGE on your personal privacy!
