My original attempt at departure from the madness of Facebook, was
The Tsū social network.
Like steemit, it paid for posting, but paid in real dollars.
Also like steemit, it was a wildwest rodeo at first.
There was a feud with FB and for a time cross platform posting
Was banned by the behemoth, but they made peace somehow.
Then, just before I managed to creep up to the minimum balance to
Be able to cash out, the whole thing folded overnight.
I had no real money invested, so I lost nothing, but about 18 months of my hard work and posting and crafting.
Now, it appears to be coming back.

Social media platform Tsu, which paid its users for sharing original content, has been acquired by private equity real estate group Terracap Group and intellectual property services company Hilco Streambank.
After years of development, the original Tsu launched in October 2014 and aimed to financially reward its content creators with US-denominated cash for sharing engaging content.
It kept 10% of ad revenue, giving the other 90% to its content creators and sharers using the "rule of thirds." Within five weeks it had signed one million users, hitting two million users in two months.
The platform was aimed squarely at content generators. Users who only consumed content did not earn royalties.
It was an innovative way to reward its users. The platform enjoyed 28 million global visitors in year one, with 4.8 million global users downloading 1.8 million pieces of content.
I do not claim Credit for this post nor these words, I am only sharing this for information sake.
There are MANY Tsūvians who are now here on Steemit, who will wish to reconnect. I've already dropped my email to pre-register
