Meaning:
* There's no public posting
* They can't data mine
* They can't sell your data
* You could create different user groups to post to
* Everyone in a group had their own server side and/or local
copy of all posts to that group
* You could unfriend or ignore users
* You could create filters by users or groups and keep them off your main "timeline" (also complex filters based on attributes like title, content, photos)
* You could delete your copy of posts but not other people's copy
* You could easily download all the data including posts and pictures any time you want
* You could easily set up internal or private "facebooks" on your own servers
* If you forget your password, there's no recovering anything.
* You don't need a separate app for private messaging

I'm extrovert and I'm drawn to comment sections of everything. As a result I get stuck on facebook comment sections. And this kills the time I would use for face to face socializing.
