After leaving facebook I decided to make the crypto-social network, minds.com, my new online home.
I will continue to post on Twitter here: http://twitter.com/paulreilly for the time being but like millions of others am moving to Minds.com as my preferred place to post content.
BigTech's move to censor it's users across all the major platforms has led me here and much like many others people I came here out on principal. I would urge your to come join me.

If you're unfamilar with Minds.com, this open-source, blockchain based social network, actually rewards its users for their participation and users can have their earned rewards transfered to an crypto-currency exchange. Tokens are stored on the Ethereum public blockchain and are accessible from outside of the Minds platform, which is key for further decentralization. The "on-chain" transactions, however, require a small Ethereum “gas” fee, which is the incentive for the Ethereum miners to process the transaction.
I finally did it, and I've not looked back since. Brave browser Download and install it here: -

I've been looking at the alternatives and have arrived at three alternatives. I continue to explore other possibilities since we're clearly now ay a cross-roads in technological evolution.
Since I mostly use Facebook and Twitter, I made it my priority to investigate alternatives to these two networks. Now, having spent a couple of weeks using the alternatives, I've decided to stick with:-
1. Minds.com/joshua8 - recommended
At the moment, I would recommend CoinBase as an exchange which provices wallets which support various currencies aswell as providing a comprehensive trading platform.
1. https://coinbase.com - recommended
Go ahead and follow me on any of the social networks above and don't forget to grab yourself a Coinbase wallet for cashing-out your tokens.
