For those who are tired of reading a lot of nonsense on Facebook, made sentences, mottos, meaningless stuff and funny images only for those who publish them, the Web offers less nagging social networks, more serious and in general, with a greater degree of confidentiality, so as to read only the posts from the people we select. In this way we can also slowly abandon Facebook (we leave it just to not lose contact with distant friends) and move our thoughts and wishes to other social networks, designed to be much more reserved. In this guide we will then show you social networks for families, couples and groups of trusted friends, so as to stay in touch with only a few close friends, without having to put all our facts "in the square".

Alternative private social networks to Facebook
Below we have collected all the social networks that we can use as an alternative to Facebook for many activities, from the more serious ones through the social ones where we can meet with friends or find a soul mate.
By creating our profile on Linkedin we will be able to choose which people to follow, in which circles to identify them and we will always be able to choose whether to show our profile to all companies or to some selected companies or professionals. If a contact visits our profile, a notification will appear on our homepage, in order to always know who is looking for us. Linkedin is also an excellent tool for looking for a new job: by entering our resume data and adding the right people, we will also be able to find new job opportunities (which is impossible on Facebook, full of trap or fake ads).
