Well, there are several groups on FB, so why not one on MeWe

We only have three members for now, but we would of course, like more!

I want you to join my group on MeWe: https://mewe.com/join/twilight2000

So, if you are interested Come on and join up

For one, it may be only be me but I have never heard of MeWe and have no idea what it is. But I am not going to sign up for something that I have no idea about, and it will not let you see with out signing up.

MeWe is an alternative to Facebook and has a focus on privacy. Apparently, part of their reasoning for not letting people preview the site is to protect the privacy of its members (how true that is I couldn't say).
It's only new so there's no surprise that many people have not heard of it before. It was only established in 2016 and hasn't had the publicity that well established social media platforms like facebook have had. It is becoming better known.

Personally, I am 50/50 in regards to MeWe. There's things I like about it but like any business they need to make money to survive and I'm a bit anti- their business model. Their model is the sale of additional features to pay their costs, things like emojis and so on.
Edit: Still, I prefer a company to sell features over selling my private data - which is exactly why I refuse to use facebook.
