There is the Anonymous version out, not sure if anyone has heard of it. Minds.com.

I barely use it, but I like the messenger function to text my sister, as she doesn't own a cell phone that has a text function. But she does have an iPad. And Facebook messenger. Go figure.

ETA: C_L I sent you a friend request, since you are popping up on my feed... Tongue

Lol what? I didn't get a request from you, and there's no way I'd be popping up on your feed...

Never mind, I see you're already friends with 3 of the people I just added lol. Wow.

Yep. Big Grin
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

RE: Facebook users?
I don't use any social media progs. I don't have that many "real" friends to worry about it.
I was asked to comment on a car club I recently joined so I joined up just for that.
(Plus it's the only way to be notified of upcoming club meets)
Didn't even use my real name, disabled absolutely everything in the options.

Still getting notified about people I have never heard of who want to "friend" me.   WTF!
That's why I hate it, once you start, there's no turning back.

With a forum, I can piss off for 12 months and nobody get's their nose out of joint.

Be warned, however, that I frequently post atheist related things on my wall, and some are seriously critical of all things religious.

I can vouch for that and I enjoy them.  However I don't do go in for anything religious on FB.  Outside of AF, I don't really think about religion a lot.  Like, Cath-y I keep up with some family that way but mostly I use it to keep up with things in horticulture, and to expand my connections in that world.  (I also dabble in a dog group, surprised?)

You've got to at least include a "I fucking hate polls" choice.

I'm having a lot of fun with you, Cath-y, and I'm really glad you're sticking around here. (I'm pro diversity and pro manners.)

But I'm already feeling a little spread out there. So please don't take it the wrong way.

No excuses.

No one can be liked by everyone. I do not pretend to like everyone here. Just ask LP xD

They want to be your friend! I can't blame them. Shy
