Most of these websites are niche related and have some or none monetization. If there is any it is pretty much minor and in the second plan. From the novelty point of the view only a few that can pass that test.
MEWE.COM
MeWe is what the Facebook should have been if the money was not involved in the whole scheme. If you like all features of the Facebook but value your privacy, this is a website that you should try. The first thing that you will notice is how simple and comfortable it is, nothing is too much in the way. Unlike the Facebook where most of the things come in a bulky app and for FREE, the MeWe has a shop where you can buy stuff like themes and emoji packages. Basic functionalities are all free, don't worry and additional things are purely decorative.
If I can chose, I would pick this one for my friends and relatives instead of the Facebook.
MIRAKEE.COM
For powets, lyrics and song writers this is a small heaven. A web page as well as a mobile application is well done and likable, and if you are avid poet as well as a poetry lover, you will appreciate this small piece of the software. It is simple, well done and without extensive unnecessary settings and options. It is oriented towards average user and offers a nice ambient for teh poetry creators. Templates and colors make it extremely pleasant to use.
Enjoy! It is lovely and a very nice mobile application. It has a browser webpage, but mobile is much better.
GAB.COM
Censorship is a blessing and a curse, but if you value free speech and your opinion means a lot to you, whatever it might be, you might go about Gab and see what they are doing there. If you hope getting banned for running your mouth left and right, forget about it. Nobody cares.
APSENSE.COM
This is a website for money and business oriented individuals. It looks something like Linkedin, but less bloated, and there are some opportunities to grab and some points to see about. Apsense is more of a platform than a website.
You can keep your content, post links , publish blogs and it is pretty entertaining but a platform has the settings that are a bit out there.
ONSTELLAR.COM
If you like something less this-wordily, and you are into paranormal, you could try OnStellar. They are still in the cradle, but rewards have been mentioned. The users are mostly into aliens, UFOs, conspiracies and all those interesting, juicy topics that are getting banned in sprees on the YouTube. Area 51 man!
FRIENDSTER.IO
One more Facebook tron, this one with the monetization. Payout will take you forever, but if you like the old site resurrected on the new premise you are most welcome to try it.
The Friendster was allegedly popular in the past, but a few rounds across it and it soon it is obvious that it has little to nothing to offer to the average user.
EKONTY.COM
Some call it a fraud, others a good website, the decission is really up to you. For the various stuff this one is ok to have and use, especially because it is basically filled with the Facebook failures, so it has an outcast lore.
Aside being knows by unstable base and mindbogglingly stupid convos, you might it find more adjustable to your needs than the Facebook, after all it is equaly soiled by spam.
MINDS.COM
If you expected something with the wits, forget about it, the Minds is just another tokenised effort to prove being interesting but not exactly well formatted. Also, if you expect it to justify the name it was given, just give up, it is not a place where most of brains lay their most valuable eggs, it is not the website for intellectuals. Content is mostly entertaining nature, heavily taken from other places, and the whole thing looks like the Facebook version zero with a public feed and a few less users.
GAB, yes, a good platform.
MINDS, I had wanted to use it, until I learnt it was backed/created by one of the USA Agencies (same as google and FB were). No thanks.
I'll take a look at some of the rest - thanks.
You are welcome, for me MeWe and Mirakee look decent, others are interesting, but yes they all have their own peculiarities.
Note to audience: my posting glitched, original post was late to publish and I produced two identical posts by mistake. It was not in purpose.
