EyeEm
EyeEm LinkPhotographers network... If you like the photo-sharing aspects of Facebook, EyeEm may be right up your alley. Founded in 2011, this platform has evolved quite a bit since its infancy. It started out as a mobile-only app where users could upload and share iPhone photos. Today, it’s a digital space that caters to both photographers and businesses.
Yubo

Sociall
Sociall LinkSociall is a decentralized platform, so it’s not owned by a single entity. The platform takes things a step further by implementing blockchain technology, too. There’s no single place where your post information is stored. This makes it harder for hackers to access and corrupt the data. It makes Sociall even more secure.
Ello
Ello LinkEllo launched back in 2014 with quite a stir in the US as it was about the time when Facebook changed its policy on names of its members, where they had to use their proper legal name. Its popularity grew as Ello presented itself to the world as a “Facebook killer social network” which doesn’t push ads down its users’ throats and doesn’t sell peoples’ information and data to 3rd parties.
Vero
Vero LinkArtists network... Vero is a subscription based social network. It shows no ads and doesn’t collect data. It’s a totally different model to Facebook in the sense that Facebook needs user data in order to make money from them. Vero does collect some usage data which is used to see how often the app is used, but note that this option by default is off. Unlike Facebook where they have everything turned on and you have to go into your settings and turn them off.
