I personally used my real name and I think many do. I have been looking for a way to change it but have been unsuccessful. I may delete and restart under an alias. Lots of gun and reloading groups in Oklahoma. I will try to find a list and attach.
So an acronym would be better in your opinion?

I haven't found anywhere to use an acronym for your name, unless you create your account using that instead of your real name. Everything I've done has been through the website. I haven't tried their app yet. The website is a little buggy, and it took some time to figure out how to follow the timeline of the threads. I had to change the way it displayed, because mine would always put the newest comments at the top of the page, but I wanted to newest threads to show first. Just play around with it. Also, there is a 'main' page and and a separate 'chat' page for each group. Most chat pages for each group are more active than the main pages, just FYI.

Some local groups worth looking at:
Oklahoma Firearms
OK2A Gun Exchange Of Oklahoma
Oklahoma Guns
Oklahoma Reloading
Oklahoma Guns For Sale

National groups:
the reloading group
Reloading Mentors Of North America
USPSA / 3 Gun / Buy/Sell/Trade

FYI - as these groups start to grow, spam accounts have become prevalent. You can block them one by one. I'm getting to the point where I don't see them often any longer, but you'll see a lot of them in the larger national groups when you first start off. Mods in some groups are better than others at kicking them out.


edit: Nothing on MeWe has topped OSA though!

If you don't like MeWe, here's yet another option. It's very similar to Facebook.

http://www.gab.com


It's not MeWe. Or FB, any of the others. It's social media in general. I joined LinkedIn because my company made me, but they can't make me post or maintain it. I refuse.

Forums are technically SM, but I've never considered them to be equal to the faceplace, mybook, or tweeters. I'm probably wrong, it really is SM, but it's a different kind of social media.

I use my real name and pretty much the same groups as the others.
Gab is OK too but they are still having server issues it seems.

I don't understand the FB hate.

Easy to hate them.

They have very bias censors.

A liberal can call a conservative a “racist POS” and nothing happens. But if a person who is conservative calls a liberal the same, they get a warning or a restriction.

I posted the meme of Harris blowing the "J" on the Joe Biden sign and got 30 days.

Last month, I replied to someone who was anti-gun that the bans in Australia and New Zealand have not worked as well as the press is selling them. She said I was “delusional” and “on serious drugs”. I replied that if she takes a bump of Midol and tries to do some honest research ... and I got a 30 days for "bullying" by their “community standards”.

Prior to that, I posted the attached picture. This violated their community standards for “nudity and sexual activity” and got 30 days. Makes me think their censors have done time in a Turkish prison.

Last night, a friend of my wife’s replied to a silly meme about “what would it take for you to get in a van” and she replied, “If they have 9mm ammo!” and she got her account restricted.

Yeah ... it’s easy to hate them.

Why cannot I not find any of those groups? Search comes up blank
