Curious to know why do you need Google Analytics on the page.
Not op but an example is to see what links people are clicking, so op can move popular alternatives to the top of the list. Or identify if a lot of users from (ex. India) are visiting and can provide local options for them.
Speaking of Facebook alternatives, I discovered a neat app not too long ago called Aether. It's like a decentralized P2P reddit. The community is fairly small but the app itself is really amazing, and I think was made entirely by one person. I'm not associated with the creator at all, and it doesn't necessarily fill the same niche as Facebook, but I think it is worth sharing nonetheless. https://getaether.net/
Isn't there a happy medium somewhere? Where someone could use a facebook like model with ads to let users in for "free," but also accept payment for absolute privacy and content control.
Part of me thinks even if you made the best, most amazing platform it'd still be a gamble if you'd get the user adoption momentum necessary to be a serious competitor. Google couldn't do it.

I enjoyed Aether, until I noticed my backup job was very busy with a few directories, and saw that Aether created a bazillion tiny files, even just deleting them all took a while on a SSD. If that ever changes, I might try it again, but since I never saw it mentioned as an issue that will be done properly later, I'm not holding my breath.
I haven't had a facebook account in many years and I don't miss it, but holy shit does this list just show how badly facebook needs an actual competitor. Isn't there a happy medium somewhere?

I guess Snap is an interesting case study here, but we can all read the writing on the wall.
I think that list really shows how strong Facebook is. Twitter? That's even less private than fb. Reddit? Seriously, you want me to post my wedding pictures on Reddit? And for events, who is going to invite friends and family to their birthday via Eventbrite? Doodle? It's not like we need to settle on a date for my birthday.

Though of course, I'd imagine all your friends would tell you to fuck right off.
Well Nextdoor is a perfect alternative for all your racist relatives who just want to rant about poor people moving into their neighborhood. My whole family has accounts in several different areas of Pittsburgh and most of the posts are people taking pictures of someone walking past their house or parking on their street and asking "Does anyone know this guy? Does he even live here? I think they're planning on breaki…
My wife makes all of her income through Facebook products. She's tried other platforms, and none of them were sustainable over Facebook and Instagram, partly because of the difficulty of building a following like the one she has on Instagram, partly because they market isn't using other products. For her, people walking away from Facebook or Instagram means losing her livelihood and giving up her dream job. Facebook…
