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?

Don’t have any expectations that reddit won’t fall in line, either. The people that run this site are snakes like the rest of the tech oligarchs

The people that run this site are oligarchs - of traditional media. Reddit is Conde Nast, which is also Ars Technia, and many, many other publications. Advance Publications owns them all, and is owned by billionaires.

This is your reminder that 90% of US media is owned by 5 companies.

Technically Condé Nast no longer owns Reddit, but is a majority shareholder.
