Hadn't paid much attention to it. I'd posted exactly as much to MeWe as to Facebook, i.e., nothing.
Taking a closer look now. The user interface is, somehow, even worse than Farcebook. Not as much of a mess, true, but missing some really basic stuff. I see no way to get from the main page to a list of one's current contacts, which would be really useful for finding, e.g., a contact's profile. Apparently if I want to see someone's profile I'm supposed to wait for a post of his to turn up in my feed, and then click through to his profile. Real helpful, guys.
Parler, I thought, showed some promise... but now it's gotten the Gab treatment. It's long past time to go full Sherman on Big Corporate Internet... and whether that means Antitrust Act or March to the Sea is a tossup.
Addendum: Something MeWe has in common with the before-time on Farcebook is the Extremely Bogus Friend Request: characteristically from an account with a profile pic of a scantily-clad young woman striking a pose and a wildly random name that almost certainly doesn't belong to that young woman, nor indeed to any woman.
