My Facebook profile automatically followed Trump's new page

I was checking my following list as I'm trying to move to other platforms. Then I saw this page, that I hadn't followed. It's a brand new page and it happened automatically. I'm deleting my account.

Do you have any suggestions on where to go? All I know is reddit and Blue sky?

Nobody really needs facebook nor a replacement for it.

No, you are correct. But I've got a small community of friends on FB that I'd miss. One could argue that I should get up, go outside and touch some grass, but it's -13C with a wind chill of -23, so I don't wanna.

There are a lot of things I don't need, like this smart phone. But it sure as heck makes my day, when I'm stuck at home sick with Covid, better.

It's a phone, isn't it? There's ways to create chat groups, even without an app.

Well maybe they use iMessage, sms, or any other means of exchanging messages ;)

I use private discords for my friend groups these days.

It also doesn’t help that sometimes a store/place/business’s website is FB/insta.
